SUMMARY:Book Signing with Benjamin E. Frey (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians)
DESCRIPTION:Today there are roughly two hundred first-language Cherokee speakers among the seventeen thousand citizens of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina. In 2019 the United Keetoowah Band\, the Cherokee Nation\, and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians declared a state of emergency for the Cherokee language. \nIn Rising Above Eastern Band Cherokee citizen Benjamin E. Frey chronicles his odyssey of being introduced to the Cherokee language with trepidation as a young adult and his eventual work revitalizing the Cherokee language in a Cherokee way. In the first book to examine the process of language shift and revitalization among this band\, Frey explores the institutional\, economic\, and social factors that drove the language shift from Cherokee to English\, interpreted through the lens of a member of the Eastern Band Cherokee community in conversation with other community members. Rising Above navigates Frey’s upbringing\, the intricacies of language and relationships\, the impact of trauma\, and the quest for joy and healing within the community. \nIn addition to language documentation and preservation\, Rising Above explores how to breathe new life into the language and community\, using storytelling to discuss the Cherokee language\, its grammatical components\, and its embedded cultural ideologies alongside its interactions with broader American society. \nBenjamin E. Frey (Eastern Band Cherokee) is an assistant professor of Cherokee language and culture at the University of North Carolina–Asheville. He is the coauthor\, with John D. Loftin\, of People of Kituwah: The Old Ways of the Eastern Cherokees.

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!
