Page during a difficult time in our country's history, the Great Depression (1929-1938). The records transcribed in this series are from the National Archives film collection M-595, Rolls 25 & 26. Approximately 1,100 North Carolina Cherokees who had managed to avoid removal from what is known as the Qualla Boundary or Cherokee Reservation in Western North Carolina. The people within these pages are a direct line of those that hid in the mountains during that dark time in our history (The Cherokee Trail of Tears 1838-1839). There is a Limited Index due to the names being in alphabetical order.
