| Description | Our stories tell us that our name "Anigiduwagi" was given to us by the Creator after seven of the wisest Cherokee men fasted for seven days and nights atop a high peak. Today it is written as "Keetoowah" or "Kituwah" and pronounced as: "Kih-too-wah."
We are also known as the Western Cherokee, or Old Settlers, as many of us were already moving west to avoid U.S. encroachment before the Trail of Tears officially began.
Today we number more than 14,000 tribal members strong. Our members reside in several states throughout the U.S., though the majority are located in Oklahoma. To be eligible for tribal membership, members must prove at least a 1/4 Cherokee blood quantum. |
