Tanasi, the state of Tennessee's namesake, is one of two principal Cherokee town sites that are among the subjects of a bill in Congress that seeks to return 76 acres of ancestral land in Monroe County to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The actual town site is about 300 yards west of this marker. The Tanasi Memorial is located about 12 miles south of the Sequoyah Birthplace Museum in Vonore, Tenn.
