No, none of those are even remotely tribes except the Katoowah (not sure of the spelling on this) Tribe in Oklahoma which is a sorta band within the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma There are three and only three Federally recognized tribes of Cherokees!! North Carolina Eastern Band of Cherokee, Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma and the United Katoowah Band in Oklahoma...there is one and only one to date of State recognized Cherokee Tribes in AL... All others are currently considered wannabees....they are not recognized by any state or federal authorities...so currently they can not even call themselves Cherokee....sorry...but that's the current state of affairs....so be aware of them, they generally promote things they know nothing about....
