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.
卻洛基人祖輩的土地,或多年以前屬于他們親屬的土地,位于當(dāng)今的美國東部和東南部地區(qū),尤其是在現(xiàn)今的喬治亞州、北卡羅來納州和南卡羅萊納州。
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.
但當(dāng)美國擴張的時候,大多數(shù)卻洛基人被迫遷移,或被強制生活在一個新地方,盡管他們不愿意。
The forced relocation is called the Trail of Tears because many Cherokee died while they were going to the new lands further west.
被迫遷移被稱為“血淚之路”,因為很多卻洛基人在前往西邊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.
如今,大約有七十三萬卻洛基人生活在美國,大多數(shù)人生活在俄克拉荷馬州、新墨西哥州和德克薩斯州。

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

When people were married, the man moved into the woman's home and the daughters inherited all the animals and property, meaning that the daughters got those things when the mother died.
人們結(jié)婚的時候,男方搬進女方的家并且由女兒繼承全部的牲畜和財產(chǎn),也就是說女兒在母親去世的時候獲得那些東西。
The Navajo are famous silversmiths, making jewelry and other things out of silver, a metal that is valuable and gray in color.
