Robert Conley, a member of the Cherokee community, delivers the first official history of the Cherokee Nation in over forty years. He opens with foundational myths and legends, revealing how tribal narratives shaped cultural identity and governance.

The narrative spans contact with European settlers and neighboring tribes, chronicles the forced migrations westward, and examines Cherokee involvement in the Civil War and twentieth-century conflicts. Conley highlights the tribe’s resilience through political upheaval and cultural change.
