"The legend says that a long time ago we lived on land surrounded by water that we couldn't drink . . ." --Traditional beginning to Cherokee stories Cherokee origin stories have been handed down over thousands of years. They intertwine to form a rich history of oral and artistic traditions that tell the Cherokee story. The vast array of art objects unearthed from prehistoric mounds throughout the southeastern United States evidence the antiquity of this rich cultural history. To some, these may be artifacts, but to the Cherokee people, they are tribal history: objects that were touched by ancestors, ancestors who have continued to teach their skills through gifts they left behind to be discovered. Stories in this book reflect how history has woven itself into the fabric of the present. The stories are intimate and told by the artists, by family members, by friends in their own words. The telling will make you feel as though you are fortunate enough to sit in the presence of the Cherokee artists, who intimately share the story of themselves, of their art, who their family was, how they came to be artists, who and what influenced them, and how their art reflects who they are as Cherokee people. They are the Cherokee National Treasures. The Cherokee National Treasure Award was established in 1988 by the Cherokee Nation and the Cherokee National Historical Society. Currently, there are ninety-four individuals who have been designated Cherokee National Treasures. They have all been recognized not only for their roles as artisans, but also for their roles as teachers, mentors, and advocates. The award recipients have preserved and perpetuated traditional and contemporary artistic methods and practices, ensuring that their arts and skills are not lost. These powerful stories of Cherokee National Treasures are captivating and leave lasting impressions of Cherokee life, values, and artistic traditions--cultural treasures that continue into the twenty-first century.

Cherokee Emerald

Cherokee Emerald

R M Morgan

Welcome to Cherokee Emerald, the third gripping installment of R. M. Morgan's outstanding Roth/Gannon Murder/Mystery Series. This mystery focuses on a North Carolina legend dating back to the late 1830s - concerning a treasure so rare, so valuable, that peoples' lives will be put on the line as they attempt to locate and recover the Cherokee Emerald. The legend was born during a particularly dark chapter in the history of the United States. In the 1830s a tragedy was inflicted upon the Native American nations in the south-eastern USA. Sometimes called the Indian Removals - the Cherokee, Muskogee, Seminole, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations were moved from their ancestral homelands to areas west of the Mississippi River designated Indian Territory. The Cherokee were the last to be displaced in 1838, following the discovery of gold in Georgia. This displacement is known as the Trail of Tears. A newlywed Cherokee huntsman named Waya discovered a magnificent natural treasure, a large Emerald of the deepest green. News of Waya's discovery quickly spread around Macon County. Knowing he would be soon forced to march westwards, Waya and his trusted friend Ian McDonald bury the treasure on the McDonald farm, hoping that someday Waya would be able to return and unearth it. Sadly, Waya never returned. 163 years later, the McDonald farm is burglarized and beset by night-time trespassers digging holes in a field. In desperation the McDonald's turn to the Roth Detective Agency for protection and answers. Harriet Roth, the master sleuth, assigns the case to Don Gannon her primary investigator and right-hand man ... R.M. Morgan is a modern-day Mickey Spillane as he carefully and skillfully makes the twin hunts for the murderer and the treasure a fantastic journey for the reader. He invites you to sleuth for the truth, with an ending you won't see coming. Be the first to write a review ...

Cherokee Echoes: Tales of Northeastern Oklahoma

Cherokee Echoes: Tales of Northeastern Oklahoma

D. Bruce Howell Phd

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
The history of Northeastern Oklahoma is a gift that just keeps giving, not only the chronological sequence of events but the anecdotal stories as well. As evidenced by archeological studies, prehistoric tribes enjoyed the region for centuries, then disappeared. Although Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto came near to Oklahoma in western Arkansas, it was a Frenchman, Claude du Tisne, who in 1519 was the first white man documented in the region, seeking a trade route to the Spanish in the southwest. After the founding of Arkansas Post in 1685, a plethora of French trappers and traders saturated the area and two centuries later the Western Cherokee followed by the Eastern Band carved out a new nation. Within twenty years the combined Cherokee tribes had developed a body of governing laws and organized an education system dubbed "The Athens of the Southwest." Then following a seemingly endless sequence of horrific events, including the American Civil War and three decades of lawlessness, the region was reconfigured by the Dawes Commission. In a testament to resiliency, in more recent decades it has re-emerged as a well functioning sovereign nation. This book is composed of 120 articles chronicling events that occurred in Northeastern Oklahoma, the Cherokee Nation, its people and their communities.

Cherokee Granted Enrollment Cards & Dawes Packets 1900 - 1907

Cherokee Granted Enrollment Cards & Dawes Packets 1900 - 1907

Native Study LLC
2025
pokkari
Within these pages the theme throughout every Cherokee case came down to one final conclusion; a stamp, applied to every citizenship or enrollment card, "Granted." The whole thing was mass hysteria. The Cherokee were being flooded with non-citizens for decades, it had to stop. They wanted their own government run by their own laws, their own courts. Many rightful citizens were being doubted as to being Cherokee themselves. The Cherokee packets transcribed in this series prove they were up to the task of showing who they were. Their testimony often intriguing, frustrating, yet never showing weakness or defeat. Time and again the Cherokee stood their ground showing their ability to be warriors, man or woman. Their words were for their descendants, they fought to save their heritage while encasing it in integrity for the future, no matter who asked the questions. Inside these pages you will find not only testimony but copies of the actual "Doubtful" cards and in most cases a copy of the Cherokee by blood enrollment card for each individual defending their heritage.

Cherokee Basketry: From the Hands of Our Elders

M. Anna Fariello

History Press
2009
nidottu
A tradition that dates back almost ten thousand years, basketry is an integral aspect of Cherokee culture. Cherokee Basketry describes the craft's forms, functions and methods and records the tradition's celebrated makers. In the mountains of Western North Carolina, stunning baskets are still made from rivercane, white oak and honeysuckle and dyed with roots and bark. This complex art, passed down from mothers to daughters, is a thread that bonds modern Native Americans to ancestors and traditional ways of life. Anna Fariello, associate professor at Western Carolina University, reveals that baskets hold much more than food and clothing. Woven with the stories of those who produce and use them, these masterpieces remain a powerful testament to creativity and imagination.
