Tahlequah lies along the Illinois River valley in the foothills of the Ozark Plateau, where wooded slopes and clear-water streams shape northeastern Oklahoma. It is the capital of the Cherokee Nation and a focal point for Cherokee language, government, and contemporary cultural life. The Cherokee National Capitol, completed in 1869, served as the seat of the Cherokee government until Oklahoma statehood and now houses the Cherokee National History Museum. Downtown Tahlequah combines civic institutions, local shops, and university life through Northeastern State University.
