Hello There!   👋

Welcome to the online home of East Coast Cherokees! As a diverse and vibrant community representing the rich heritage and traditions of the Cherokee people, we are delighted to share our story with you.

East Coast Cherokees includes at-large citizens of Cherokee Nation residing in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. We are a recognized satellite community of Cherokee Nation, and we are a non-profit 501(c)(3) Native American organization whose members reside outside the historic boundaries of the Cherokee Nation. Our members come from all walks of life, united by our shared ancestry and connection to Cherokee Nation. Whether you are a proud Cherokee descendant living far from our ancestral lands or someone with a deep appreciation for Cherokee culture, this platform is intended to serve as a digital hub for our extended community.

We believe that preserving and celebrating our Cherokee heritage is of paramount importance. Our group fosters a sense of belonging, offering support, resources, and a space for cultural exchange. Here, you will find a warm and welcoming community where you can connect with fellow Cherokees-at-large, share stories, and partake in discussions that celebrate our history, language, art, and traditions. We will be adding information on upcoming events where you can connect with us. Stay tuned!

Whether you are seeking connections, knowledge, or simply a sense of belonging, we are honored to have you join us. East Coast Cherokees embraces diversity, inclusivity, and a shared vision of preserving and cherishing our unique heritage for generations to come. Together, let us celebrate the spirit of the Cherokee people and forge lasting bonds that transcend time, distance, and boundaries.
