Much has been written about the Cherokee Nation and the "Trail of Tears", a phrase conveying the suffering that attended the forced removal of thousands of Cherokee Indians to present-day Oklahoma in the 1830s. But until recently historians have largely ignored the tribal remnant that avoided removal and remained in North Carolina. John R.Finger shifts attention to the Eastern Band of Cherokees, descended from that remnant and now numbering almost ten thousand, most of whom live on a reservation adjacent to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "Cherokee Americans" is, ironically, the first comprehensive account of the 20th century experience of a band that is known to and photographed by millions of tourists. Finger shows how the Eastern Cherokees have sought to maintain - and redefine - their Indian identify while coping with the pressures of modern American society. Tourism has been a mixed blessing, bringing money to the reservation but exacerbating old disputes over who qualifies as a "real" Cherokee and producing tribal "haves" (those possessing rights to the choicest tourist sites) and "have-nots." Even so, economic opportunities and vagaries have made the band more intent on preserving its Cherokee identify. Finger also considers how changing federal Indian policies, as well as local circumstances, have propelled the Eastern Band toward greater self-determination. Based on extensive archival research, inverviews with Cherokees, and a variety of anthropological sources, "Cherokee Americans" is a comprehensive account of an important and highly visible Indian tribe as it approaches the 21st century.
