AKAPK:
Its obsidean :)

billy:
It's an obsidian corner notched point!! 

Actually, Cherokees didn't have obsidian back in aboriginal times so it's probably a modern made point.  Prehistoric corner notched points found in Cherokee country are usually Palmer or Kirk Corner notched.  Both are pretty old....early Archaic times (9,000-7,000 years old I believe, but don't quote me on the dates, they may be a little off).

JackCrafty:
Yep, that's probably a tourist point (made for the tourist trade).  I think the Cherokees originally made points similar to the ones in the photo below.  (The large point in the middle is a knife blade...the others are arrowheads.)
