If the information about the bible were transmitted to the Cherokees by missionaries, one would expect that somewhere in these legends there would be some mention of Jesus. However, Jesus is completely absent from any of the ancient legends of the Cherokees, only legends similar to those in the Torah are present.

While various sites note that the "chief diety" of the Cherokee is
"Yo-wah or Ye-ho-waah"
this chief diety is curiously absent from "Myths of the Cherokee", a
document from the
1890s: http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/cher/motc/index.htm This document does
have reference to other dieties which are mentioned in some other
sites about the
Cherokee religion, such as:
http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/cher/motc/index.htm
It appears to me that "Yo-wah" or "Ye-ho-waah" is the work of some missionary.
