In effect, the Cherokee nation now resembles the larger US. but in some ways, they have also improved on the modern American influence.&nbsp. Their impact on the American history has been seen when they introduced the first free compulsory public school system and the first institution of higher learning near the Mississippi River.&nbsp. The influence they have had on American society and history has been lauded by their contemporaries. however, the full-blooded communities have also managed to maintain the pure Cherokee traditions in the Midwest and Southeast regions.&nbsp.

In general, the 0-18-year-old modern Cherokee Indians are more or less influenced by the white culture and their traditions seem to follow mainstream ideals.&nbsp. However, these people still gather occasionally in their ceremonial stomp grounds in order to honor their traditions through dances.&nbsp. These dances are usually in secret locations but recently have been shown to the public in order to educate the people about Cherokee traditions.&nbsp. The social influences of the Cherokee have been based on a blending of their Cherokee teachings, as well as their modern interactions with their white counterparts.&nbsp. These Cherokees would not be out of place in a society of whites because they have more or less immersed themselves in this culture from their school activities, as well as their social interactions.&nbsp. Moreover, with the intermarriages of Cherokees with the whites, many children have also been raised in mixed cultures and have been influenced by their American as well as their Cherokee parents.&nbsp.

While living in the contemporary world, the modern Cherokees have adapted their habits to the Americans.&nbsp. Where before, they have been largely agricultural and dependent on the land for their food, the present modern Cherokee diet is not any more different from the American diet.&nbsp. In special gatherings, however, they include wild onions, eggs, bean bread, fried bread, grape dumplings, and fried crayfish in their diet.&nbsp. They also serve Kanuche on these special occasions.&nbsp. Kanuche is a rich broth of hickory nuts.&nbsp. With these practices, the modern Cherokees still get a taste of their unique Cherokee diet.&nbsp.
