We love our traditional Cherokee stories! Roy Boney, who oversees the Cherokee Nation Language department, has created an illustrated version of the story of the Cherokees fleeing their home island on canoes. The narration is by Anna Sixkiller, and was originally recorded for an exhibit at the Cherokee National History Museum in downtown Tahlequah. We hope you enjoy this story: | Cherokee Nation

🎉Join us in celebrating 20 years of the Cherokee National Youth Choir!! The Cherokee National Youth Choir performs traditional and contemporary songs in the Cherokee language. The choir was founded as a way to keep tribal youth involved with Cherokee language and culture. The group has become a living symbol to the world at large, demonstrating that Cherokee language and culture continues to thrive in modern society. Osda! | Cherokee Nation
