The original name of the Cherokee is "Tsalagi" when pronounced it sounds very close to Cherokee. White settlers could not speak the name properly, and so they got labeled as "Cherokee." The old meaning of Tsalagi is debated, it is agreed that today the name means "Real People" to show that natives are real, and that white society is not real (or is not human).
