Tahlequah, Oklahoma is often known as the Cherokee capital of the United States at least for history buffs. This town is rife with Native American cultures, and the oldest building still standing is the Cherokee Supreme Court that was erected in 1844. In 1839, Tahlequah was a dedicated city for the United Keetoowah of Cherokee Indians, including The Cherokee Nation.

 So, it comes as no surprise that most of the residents there today have Cherokee blood in their veins and Native American ancestry in their DNA. For a time through the early 1900s, the Cherokees had legal battles for their lands in Tahlequah, but those lands were rightfully, wholly returned to them in 1970.
