A Cherokee Blessing:
"May the warm winds of Heaven blow softly on your home, and the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows, and may the rainbow always touch your shoulder."

One thing that I find so cool is the fact that many of the Cherokee people accepted our Lord as the one true God. Around 1801, Christian missionaries came to the Cherokee people. The Christian missionaries were well accepted among the Cherokee because they didn't push their religion on the Cherokee Tribe; they lived and worked with them and shared the Gospel by example. During the Trail of Tears, the missionaries were right there with the Cherokee people as they endured the hardship of that journey. Thus many Cherokee came to be Christians. And even though many of the Cherokee became Christians, they still respected the beliefs and customs of their people. God truly worked among these people.
