Preserving Cherokee History. Empowering Future Generations.

We are proud to offer a newly developed PDF archive featuring all the documents from the award-winning Cherokee history course created by former Principal Chief Chad Smith and Dr. Julia Coates. While the course is not currently being offered, it will return in the future. In the meantime, these materials are available to the public as a valuable educational resource for anyone interested in the rich and complex history of the Cherokee people. We invite students, educators, and lifelong learners to explore and engage with this important legacy.
