Considering that Murphy, NC is located in Cherokee County, and that our county was formed right after the terrible Trail of Tears, it's important to remember the heritage of the Cherokee Indians who settled this land thousands of years ago.

Good morning.
I know that some people consider it to be politically incorrect to use the term "Indian" and that the preferred term is "Native American." I just don't agree with this idea.
Yes, it's obvious that the Cherokee who settled this land thousands of years ago are not from India. I'll stipulate to that.
I just don't find it to be derogatory or show any lack of respect.
If you take offense, I apologize in advance.
All the best,
JD
