Cherokee Heritage in South Carolina

Native Americans have lived in Upstate South Carolina for thousands of years and the history of the Cherokee people is a fascinating account of how they lived and adapted to a changing world.

    The little bit of Cherokee blood I have in me came from those who hid and stayed behind instead of going on the Trail of Tears. I have traveled much and lived in many places, yet I am always drawn back to the lower town area because this is the only place in the world which feels like home. I could have been richer living elsewhere but I'm old now and it doesn't matter. I will die here happy.

    My grandmother had a lot of Cherokee in her. She told me when I was a little girl that my siblings and I are part Cherokee. My grandmother's grandmother was full blood Cherokee and came from South Carolina. Her mother was also Cherokee and then they moved to Tennessee when my grandmother was a young girl! But, however, we did have relatives who were forced to walk the Trail of Tears, and yes some did pass away along the trail. My dad did a complete family tree on both his and my mother's family. Dad was even able to find exactly what tribe my great great great grandmother came from in South Carolina. My sister now has all the family tree at her home since both of our parents are now in heaven with our Lord. It's a great history but at the same time it's a sad part of history!!!!

    No people are indigenous to this continent - within seconds of each other ALL humans arrived over during earth-time, horses Indians acquired came from Europeans/Spain - there were on foot, woman and children were perpetual laborers, they and dogs pulled the smaller plains-Indian teepees, teepees only, became larger after horses were acquired.... anyone born here is Native American. Another fact, vastly more Indians died at the hands of other Indians - conflicts, over land/territory were commonplace, for thousands of years. Average life expectancy 30, 40 if lucky. Most of us have white in us, we can 'go back' anytime, to Africa - cradle of mankind.

An Irish trader married a woman of the aniwaya clan . 2 generations later, they dropped the cherokee identification and intermarried until the family history was gone. Until I re-discovered it. Good luck in your search, the history is amazing.

    The Cherokee and a few of their lower towns were as far down as the Midlands in South Carolina. They traded at Fort Congaree #1 after it was established in 1718 along the Congaree River in what is now Cayce. They also raided in that same area of SC during the First and Second Cherokee Wars in the mid 1700s. Many people of Cherokee (and other people with different ancestral Native American heritage) wether full-bloods or mixed ancestry still live all over SC and in many areas of the Nation. The Cherokee left a rich heritage on this nation like so many other Native nations did.

Once she got to Ny, found a job working for 2 wealthy lawyer's. My grandma was a house maid and she raised their kid's. Finally, she saved up enough money to get a house built in North Augusta,S.C for her 6, children and her mom. She stayed in Ny , and continued to pay for the mortgage. However, the government recently changed my family's address to Beech Island, Sc. My grandma's , mentioned Cherokee & Blackfoot, Native.

    This is great! A good time for something like this exists now. With the present I-85 project coming thru it would be great to bring public attention to Buffalo Creek near Broad River. Some called it a swamp. Others, a wetland. Maybe a few considered it a bog. It was drained off and the creek was channeled when the interstate first came. All that is left is the mouth of Buffalo into the Broad and access is VERY limited! Maybe SCDOT could leave some property in that area FOR US, for the people who live here! Surely, a conservation easement or gift to DNR or let our county control it for parks & recreation.

Do not write things claiming that this video is crap or fake. Unless you’ve been to Oconee County, don’t talk about the people and call anybody fake.

    Like this lady says, my granny did NOT want to talk about being Cherokee! But I asked soo many questions anyway. I pulled it out of her. I never understood why it hurt soo bad to talk about it! I am Scottish on daddy's side and Cherokee on moma's side. And I wanted to know my Cherokee history and meet my relatives. Granny would become very angry and refuse to talk about it!!

    In early times, African slaves were in a strange land, different topography, food sources, and different skills were needed than how they were taught to survive in their African homeland. Same struggle for early European settlers of Jamestown or Plymouth, that probably would not have survived without help. Many died from starvation and disease because they too were in a new environment.

    No people are indigenous to this continent - within seconds of each other ALL humans arrived over during earth-time, horses Indians acquired came from Europeans/Spain - there were on foot, woman and children were perpetual laborers, they and dogs pulled the smaller plains-Indian teepees, teepees only, became larger after horses were acquired.... anyone born here is Native American. Another fact, vastly more Indians died at the hands of other Indians - conflicts, over land/territory were commonplace, for thousands of years. Average life expectancy 30, 40 if lucky. Most of us have white in us, we can 'go back' anytime, to Africa - cradle of mankind.

    Not everything that the archeologist say I believe is said and done on what are all the facts. It is said because the Cherokee language is Iroquoian the Cherokee migrated down from the Great Lakes Region. But what I was told is the Cherokee came here from the South. Anthropologist have mentioned that much of the effigies they stole from the graves are very similar to the that of the Aztec and South American tribes. I think it's sad about so many South Carolina people's that are pretty much gone like The Old Cheraw.
