DESCRIPTION:Led by David Jumper (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)\, this new biweekly series is an intensive (not excelled\, or advanced level) workshop that empowers participants to use language as much as possible during class through call and response\, partner and group work\, and questions and answers.\n\n\n\nTopics will include everyday activities that apply to everyone\, and a general outline for class will be provided. All ages and “levels” of learners are welcome\, and registration is not required.\n  \n\n\nBiweekly\, 5pm-6:30pm: \nWeek 1: March 3 & 5\nWeek 2: March 10 & 12\nWeek 3: March 17 & 19\nWeek 4: March 24 & 26\nWeek 5: March 31 & April 2\nWeek 6: April 7 & 9 \n  \n\n\nMeet the instructor:\n\n\nᏏᏲ!

I work at The Atse Kituwah Academy\, and I teach second grade Cherokee language arts. I started there in August 2010. When I first started\, I worked in the 2-year-old classroom.\n\n\nI love learning and teaching the Cherokee language. I always like watching basketball games. The North Carolina Tarheels are the best! I want all Cherokees to learn the Cherokee language! It belongs to only us! Everyone speak Cherokee!\n\n\n\nMy first few years working at the Academy I was placed in classrooms with at least 2 fluent speakers where I could hear them converse with each other in the language. This is where I excelled the most in my language journey. Although not everyone is as fortunate as I have been. I feel that this is the best way to learn\, listening and practicing speaking. Reading and writing are good ways to memorize language but our language\, just as any other language\, must be heard and spoken as much as possible EVERY DAY!

SUMMARY:Community Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of the Cherokee People actively seeks input from the community for the update of its main exhibition. In the early phases of reimagining the exhibit\, last renovated in 1998\, Museum leadership will hold a listening session at the Museum\, encouraging members of Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to share their visions for a community-centered\, community-voiced exhibit. \nThe main exhibit update is part of the Museum’s ambitious plans to prioritize self-representation in its exhibits and offerings\, create an accessible space for all Cherokee people\, and increase the safety of the objects in its care using museum best practices and Cherokee cultural protocols. \nAttendees will be able to view and share feedback on conceptual drawings for the Museum’s future offsite collections housing and public facility. Complimentary dinner will be served.
