The Cherokee (ah-ni-yv-wi-ya in Cherokee) are Native Americans who at the time of European contact in the 16th century lived in the area that is now the eastern and southeastern United States before most were forcefully moved to the Ozark Plateau. They were one of the tribes referred to as the Five Civilized Tribes.

Cherokee people lived in permanent structures, not teepees.
