Take a deep dive into the Cherokee past and present. Restored and opened in 2019, the Cherokee National History Museum resides in the original Cherokee National Capitol building in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. With 7,000 square feet of timeless art and tribal heritage to explore, visitors will learn about the history and culture of Cherokee Nation from its origins to today.
One Land, One Nation: Cherokee Unification After Removal
A new exhibit, “One Land, One Nation: Cherokee Unification After Removal,” looks at a critical period in Cherokee Nation history when dissension and reprisals threatened reunification after removal, but was bypassed to create a way forward for Cherokee Nation.
Cherokee Nation’s legacy is one of survival and adaptation. The Modern Era gallery tells our history from Oklahoma’s statehood to today, through reformed government, continued education, military service, and the preservation of Cherokee culture. Cherokee Nation continues to fight for sovereignty and cultural continuation and against the suppression of our government and people.
Immersive Experience
