The Cherokee (/ˈtʃɛrəkiː/; Cherokee: ᏣᎳᎩ Tsalagi) are a Native American people historically settled in the Southeastern United States (principally Georgia, the Carolinas and East Tennessee). Linguistically, they are part of the Iroquoian language family. In the 19th century, historians and ethnographers recorded their oral tradition that told of the tribe having migrated south in ancient times from the Great Lakes region, where other Iroquoian-speaking peoples were located. They began to have contact with European traders in the 18th century.
In the 19th century, white settlers in the United States called the Cherokee one of the "Five Civilized Tribes", because they had assimilated numerous cultural and technological practices of European American settlers. The Cherokee were one of the first, if not the first, major non-European ethnic group to become U.S. citizens. Article 8 in the 1817 treaty with the Cherokee stated Cherokees may wish to become citizen of the United States. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the Cherokee Nation has more than 300,000 members, the largest of the 565 federally recognized Native American tribes in the United States.

Keywords: jail-break, stagecoach-robberySweet eyes of my father
In my own eyes I can see
The vision of the ancient Cherokee
Sweet sacred inspiration
He passes on to me
Heartbeat of the gentle Cherokee
And I heard him say
That's just the way love is
When love is bliss
And we will walk the mighty circle
Double cross the hands of time
Laugh and we'll cry as egos die
Until we get to the other side
Put on our wings and fly
The soul of sweet foregiveness
Walks his path with dignity
With the wisdom of the ancient living Cherokee
I come from his deep water
As much like him as I can be
And I carry to my own children
The promise of the Cherokee
And I heard him pray
That everywhere God is
Let freedom live
And we will walk the mighty circle
Double cross the hands of time
As nations die and hearts unite
When we'll get to the other side
Put on our wings and fly
Song of Monolah Sing of Mother Earth
Let Everyman live free
Let every voice be heard
Let every child be born
Knowing the way
And we will walk the sacred circle
Join our hands across all time
Living in peace when we believe
We're gonna get to the other side
Join our voices across the sky
When we get to the other side
We're gonna leave this world behind
Til we get to the other side
