The official site of the Cherokee Nation (1) has most of the information you request:
"History
"This is where you will find information on the history of the Cherokee Nation and of the Cherokee People. Here we have historical facts, biographies, information on chiefs, historical event and sites as well as historical information during the Trail of Tears era.
"*Historical Facts
"*Biographies
"*Chiefs
"*Historical Events
"*Historical Sites"

More information, including an image of the Cherokee Seal with an explanation can be found on another website. (2)
Here's the introductory paragraph from this site:
"The Cherokee Nation
"The Cherokees called themselves the Ani-Yun' wiya meaning leading or principal people. The original Cherokees lived early times in Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and West Virginia."

There's a map of their original range on this third website (3) which shows their journey to the Reserve. They say:
"The Cherokee Nation - largest of the Five Civilized Tribes of the Southeast - is a people of Iroquoian lineage. The Cherokee, who called themselves 'Ani'-Yun' wiya' - 'Principal People' - the 'Keetoowah' - 'People of Kituhwa' - or Tsalagi from their own name for the Cherokee Nation - migrated to the Southeast from the Great Lakes Region."

They were the Indians of the Cherokee Nation, a proud good people. That is all I know. I hope you know. You can find out by logging on under American Indians and then Cherokee. Good luck.
