Get the Cherokee Princess mug.I have heard two different variations of the meaning of ᏣᎳᎩ: tsa-la-gi:Cherokee- 1.)people of the cave and mountain 2.)the redskin people. Aside from being one of, if not the largest Native American tribe(s) in the United States. The Cherokee are also known as one of the five civilized tribes. 20,000 Cherokee's were forcefully moved on the trail of tears 4,000 of which didn't make it from the southeast. Now there are three federally recognized bands 1.Cherokee nation-Oklahoma 2. United (ga-du-wa)Keetoowah band of Cherokee-Oklahoma 3. Eastern band of Cherokee-North Carolina. There are 7 clans of the Cherokee tribe:1.)a-ni-gi-lo-hi:The Long Hair Clan 2.)a-ni-sa-ho-ni:The Blue Clan 4.)a-ni-go-te-ge-wi:The Wild Potato Clan 5.)a-ni-a-wi: the Deer Clan 6.)a-ni-tsi-s-qua:the Bird Clan 7.)a-ni-wo-di:the Paint Clan

Get the Cherokee mug.Leaving the bar without informing any of the people you came with. Usually occurs after consuming large amounts of alcohol and you get the sudden overwhelming need to be home. Also can be used when you leave the bar with someone who was not in your original group without letting anyone know.

Get the Cherokee Fade Away mug.Currently the largest tribe in the steadily-growing race known as Native American Indians. The Natives are, fortunately, making a comeback, and NOT just with casinos, dammit!
With well over 700,000 mixed- and full-blooded members, the Cherokee nation is the largest tribe in the entire United States. The "motherland" that the tribe inhabited, of which many still do, is known as the Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee and very western North Carolina. The white settlers and slaveowners pushed a great number of my people off their lands, of which many of us thoroughly and bitterly resent them. It was those people who made this region the South, with their new countrified, Southeast-style culture and political opinions. They also believed that the Cherokees were nothing but savages and heathens, VERY BIG misconception. Thanks to most of those people who took over the lands, now we have a mixture of lightly-educated hicks, and a bunch of arrogant, and usually racist, rednecks. What a GREAT EXCHANGE!
We have managed to hold out, however. Many of the ancestors held out in different hiding places in the mountains, and a lot of them survived the Trail of Tears. It is true that many Cherokees served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, but it is a decision that most of them made out of fear of the Southerners. Many of them, however, ended up serving in the Union Indian Brigade, which fought out in the Trans-Mississippi Theatre, coming from Oklahoma and Kansas, were most of the Natives had been exiled to from their eastern homelands. The Cherokee are a strong people, they served the nation and the settlers even as their own rights and lands were gradually being taken from them, and they deserve a lot of respect, and even tribute, in return.

Get the Cherokee mug.The high school where there is absolutly no parking. Where they build a Junior lot that fills by 6:50, and where the cops get tingly feelings by tickiting you for being in the no stopping no standing zones even though there is no other possible parking. The high school that you pull up to a half hour before homeroom starts, and cringe as you realize there is not a single space on either side of the road, and the neigborhood is full...you say a few words of prayer as you pull in front of the no parking no standing sign, hope for the best only to walk out after 13th period to find a $125 ticket placed ever so elegantly under your wiper blades. Cherokee, the school that takes pleasure in using huge orange cones to block off what little parking we do have; the school where you wish your friends would just fail their license tests so they don't hog up your potential parking spaces.
I have received 5 tickets in the past few months for no parking no standing. The announcement made today: "Students, we need to keep a good relation with Brush Hollow, don't park the wrong way...dont park there at all..."
Best example, the HUGE, pointless orange cones.
