A group of motivated and passionate artists, storytellers, singers, dancers, researchers, Cherokee language learners, and knowledge seekers, Atsila Anotasgi (the Cherokee word for “Fire Builders”) focus on cultural preservation by reconnecting with their Eastern Cherokee heritage. The group is comprised entirely of enrolled members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians who educate non-Indigenous and Indigenous communities about Eastern Cherokee belief systems, concepts, song and dance, and traditions through lectures, dance performances, art demonstrations, and storytelling sessions.
