SUMMARY:Opening Reception - Didanisisgi Gadagwatli: A Showcase of Pottery from the Mud Dauber Community Workshop at the Museum of the Cherokee People
DESCRIPTION:McCoy developed her pottery workshop three years ago when she noticed a decline in practicing ceramic artists in the Cherokee community. Compelled to do her part in ensuring that there are future generations of Cherokee potters\, she developed a three-month intensive workshop that invites aspiring potters from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and other federally recognized tribes to learn all facets of Cherokee ceramics.

SUMMARY:Restoring Cherokee Perspectives: Exploring First Voice Research Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:First Voice research is qualitative study that centers lived experience rather than perspectives of observers. For Indigenous scholars\, archaeologists\, and museum professionals\, this means conducting research and study about our own tribal communities\, history\, and culture on our own terms. \nOn September 18 at 10:30am ET\, join Museum of the Cherokee People for a conversation with archaeologists Delancey Griffin (Cherokee Nation) and Makayla Williams (Cherokee Nation)\, historian Constance Yellowtail Owl (EBCI)\, and journalist Rebecca Nagle (Cherokee Nation) as we explore First Voice research\, why it matters\, new Cherokee research\, and navigating academia. \nJoin us in-person in the TJ Holland Education Room at Museum of the Cherokee People (no registration required) or tune in virtually (click to register). This opportunity is free and open to all. \nThis event is presented in partnership with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) and the Cherokee Archaeological Symposium.

SUMMARY:Book Signing: 'Riding the Trail: Cherokees Remember the Removal' with co-author Will Chavez (Cherokee Nation)
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Museum Store tomorrow\, September 30\, at 4pm for a special book signing with author Will Chavez (Cherokee Nation)\, co-author of Riding the Trail: Cherokees Remember the Removal\, following the annual 950-mile bike ride retracing the Trail of Tears.\n\nStop by\, meet the author\, and get your copy signed! We hope to see you there!\n\nAbout the Book:\n\nFollow Cherokee youths on a 950-mile bike journey retracing the Trail of Tears—from Georgia to Oklahoma—on the annual Remember the Removal Ride.\nThis inspiring photo-rich nonfiction book follows Native youth riding to remember history\, to link past and present through culture\, to gain resilience\, and to show activism. For ages 10 and up.\n\nReaders follow Cherokee youth as they train for the Remember the Removal Ride\, dive into the Cherokee language\, and find out more about the important chapter in their tribe’s history. The ride began in 1984 and became an annual event in 2009. There are nearly 300 alumni\, including coauthor Will Chavez\, who was also a coordinator of the program.\n\nHere are 112 pages of photo-illustrated nonfiction penned by enrolled Cherokee Nation coauthors. This does something no other book does: presents the Trail of Tears in a contemporary context. While Cherokee people suffered that grim chapter in history\, they thrive today.\n\nTraci Sorell is an award-winning author of children picture books and middle-grade books. Will Chavez is an award-winning journalist and photographer. Both creators are citizens of the Cherokee Nation.
