The Cherokee and the Navajo are the two biggest tribes.
却洛基和纳瓦霍是两个最大的部落。
The Cherokees' ancestral lands, or the land that belonged to their relatives many years ago, are in the area that is now the eastern and southeastern parts of the United States, especially where the states of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina are today.
却洛基人祖辈的土地，或多年以前属于他们亲属的土地，位于当今的美国东部和东南部地区，尤其是在现今的乔治亚州、北卡罗来纳州和南卡罗莱纳州。
But as the United States grew, most of the Cherokee were forced to relocate, or made to live in a new place even though they didn't want to.
但当美国扩张的时候，大多数却洛基人被迫迁移，或被强制生活在一个新地方，尽管他们不愿意。
The forced relocation is called the Trail of Tears because many Cherokee died while they were going to the new lands further west.
被迫迁移被称为“血泪之路”，因为很多却洛基人在前往西边新土地的途中死去了。
Today, about 730,000 Cherokees live in the United States, mostly in the states of Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Texas.

In traditional Navajo society, only women could own animals and property (or buildings or land).
