Tahlequah is the capital of the Cherokees, as it was established as the seat of government of the Cherokee Nation after the forced removal of the Cherokee People from their homelands in the Southeast. Located at the foothills of rolling hills, the Illinois River, and Lake Tenkiller, Tahlequah is a town surrounded by the beautiful outdoors and recreation for all ages. It is also home to Northeastern State University, originally established by the Cherokee Nation. Tahlequah is a community of about 16,000 that is rich in local history as well as Cherokee culture.  Tahlequah is only an hour commute to metro Tulsa where there is fine dining, shopping, recreational parks and the Tulsa International Airport.
