DOWNLOAD EBOOKIris became a member of the Cherokee Nation in 1995, which intensified her desire to learn more about her Native American heritage. "Finding the Treasures Left Along the Trail" has been exciting, and learning of the numerous important individuals that contributed so much to early American history has been incredible! "Finding the Treasures Left Along the Trail - My Cherokee Heritage" presents a historical account of significant contributions made by a family with roots in Europe and in the Cherokee Nation here in America. The book discloses information seldom taught in American history classes in our public schools, and sheds a very different view of the Native American society and its major influence on settlement and development of the United States of America. Even our egalitarian democracy came from the Native American (Iroquois) form of government. You will read stories of family members educated as attorneys, a member raised to the rank of General in the Civil War, and numerous individuals elected to lead the Nation as Principle Chiefs. The Carpenters from Devonshire, England, first arrived on the North American Continent in 1627, and the incredible journey begins!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA tradition that dates back almost ten thousand years, basketry is an integral aspect of Cherokee culture. Cherokee Basketry describes the craft's forms, functions and methods and records the tradition's celebrated makers. In the mountains of Western North Carolina, stunning baskets are still made from rivercane, white oak and honeysuckle and dyed with roots and bark. This complex art, passed down from mothers to daughters, is a thread that bonds modern Native Americans to ancestors and traditional ways of life. Anna Fariello, associate professor at Western Carolina University, reveals that baskets hold much more than food and clothing. Woven with the stories of those who produce and use them, these masterpieces remain a powerful testament to creativity and imagination.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOver the generations, Cherokee citizens became a conglomerate people. Early in the nineteenth century, tribal leaders adapted their government to mirror the new American model. While accommodating institutional slavery of black people, they abandoned the Cherokee matrilineal clan structure that once determined their citizenship. The 1851 census revealed a total population nearing 18,000, which included 1,844 slaves and 64 free blacks. What it means to be Cherokee has continued to evolve over the past century, yet the histories assembled here by Ty Wilson, Karen Coody Cooper and other contributing authors reveal a meaningful story of identity and survival.
