Abstract:
An historical overview (with interviews and backgound music) of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Tribal Nation features Cherokee creation myths, stories of fairies ("little people"), family life, continuing native and Christian rituals, ceremonial dances and folk music. Shows archaeological digs at the former Cherokee capitol of Echota, North Carolina, a site subsequently inundated by lakes resulting from the construction of area dams. The Cherokee language and its continuance is discussed throughout. Short biographical profiles are presented of George Guest (Sequoyah), James Vann, Samuel Worcester, Tomolusca and Oconastota.
