Established in 1948, the Museum of the Cherokee People is one of the longest-operating tribal museums in the country. Located in Cherokee, North Carolina on the Qualla Boundary, the sovereign land of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and ancestral homelands of all Cherokees, the Museum shares the history, culture, and stories of the Cherokee people through its exhibitions, collections, and programs.

Yes, we all know "India" is offensive because it is based on Columbus' mistake.. But many people use the term "Native Americans." "America" was used to honor Amerigo Vespucci, a fellow explorer of Columbus. He owned household slaves and bequeathed them to his wife. Much less offensive.
I love the Warruor Dance but I had never seen the Horse Dance! The Bear Dance would be fun with the shoving, and same for the Buffalo Dance. The Beaver Dance us hilarious because they are trying to hunt the "beaver" that is being pulled on a cord between two other dancers
You can not out date someone's Lineage/Heritage! The Indigenous American Indians reclassified to Colored/Negroes are still here. there were no "Natives" (No nothing party) in the South/The Carolines and Considering the "Natives' are NOT Indians it is a good strategy to rename the Museum.
Beautiful! I enjoyed listening to each one of you. Your presence here on this planet is a gift from God. You all have my heart and my love. Thank you for taking the time to make this happen. As à man kissed by the sun...I wish you all the very best from redondo beach, california.

In Kentucky, the State Police keep unsolved cases on their website for the public to help solve, even after the case is cold. Hopefully, North Carolina has something similar, so the families know that it is not just forgotten records on a self.
Any history on who put the early hymns into the Cherokee language? I've heard one man who at least helped the process was Rev. Armory Nelson Chamberlain.
My adopted mother, Maria Pearson, Yankton, initiated NAGPRA from the State of Iowa in 1990. My artwork on reclaiming the human story was influenced greatly by her passion with repatriation. I will be moving to North Carolina and would enjoy meeting you all and maybe brainstorm about this topic and artwork possibilities for the artists if interested. Really support the work you are doing. Marcia K Moore
26 minutes into this video and I’m already crying. As an Appalachian white woman who’s ancestors have lived here long enough to play a part in yours not being here, it makes me physically hurt. I feel it on a visceral level. And to be honest, I think I feel it at this level because I’ve watched the mountain heritage my ancestors taught me die off. Except it’s not lost. It’s just not practiced anymore. It lives, recorded in museums and books by the thousands. I hurt for you knowing it was taken from you. I hurt even more seeing it become what it is today. A steaming pile of trash, technology, extreme poverty living in a mess of a white man politica with no connection with the earth. I can only wish my ancestors (in whatever plane of existence they may be in) live with the regret of any part they played in destroying entire cultures until the last of your people hurt. Good work folks. Strong work. The kind of work that keeps a culture alive and thriving. Time to finish this video.
Wado! If you turn on captioning it will automatically put CART/ Captions so us Deaf Natives can see and 'hear' but cost nothing. But warms my heart if I can have captions so I don't miss anything.wado
Thanks Nico and the museum for sharing indigenous wisdom and culture. Relationship with our food and environment is at the center. I'm excited to try out this recipe and have new appreciation for corn, juniper berries, sumac and other gifts from Creator.
