Cherokee The "Real People"
According to the Cherokee Nation, the Cherokee refer to themselves as “Aniyvwiya” meaning the “Real People” or the “Anigaduwagi” or the Kituwah people.
Cherokee is a complex language with soft sounds. If you'd like to know a few easy Cherokee words, "osiyo" (pronounced oh-see-yoh) is a friendly greeting, and "wado" (pronounced wah-doh) means 'thank you.'
Cherokee women were in charge of farming, property, and family. Men made political decisions for the tribe, and women made social decisions for the clans. The landowners were women. The Cherokees were farming people. Cherokee women harvested crops of corn, beans, squash, and sunflowers. They also gathered berries, nuts and fruit to eat.
Trail of Tears: In 1830, the Cherokee were forcibly pushed from their land, by the United States government. The Cherokee people were forced to a new place to live - a reservation located in the southwest, an area they had left 4000 years earlier. The Cherokee were forced to walk all they way to Oklahoma. Many people died on the walk, which is why this

Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull, Geronimo, and Red Cloud stand as four pillars of Native strength and memory.
Each walked a different path, yet all carried the weight of their people’s survival.
They shaped not only the customs of their tribes, but the spirit that endured through hardship.
Their words were roots, their actions were rivers, carving history into the land.
In times of loss and resistance, they chose dignity over surrender of the soul.
Because of their lasting influence, they are remembered as true founding fathers of Native America.
Not founders of a nation on paper, but guardians of identity and honor.
From left to right, their faces remind us of courage that could not be erased.
Their legacy still speaks in the wind and the drumbeat of the earth.
Thank you for taking a moment to remember and honor them. ❤️

"The villains are fairly obvious in “Flower Moon,” but Scorsese asks audiences to take a wider look at systemic racism, historical injustice and the corruptive influence of power and money, intriguingly tying together our past and present." ~ Brian Truitt,
"Gladstone, in the rare Scorsese film that gives center stage to a female character, is the emotional core here, and it's her face that stays etched in our memory."
~ Jocelyn Noveck
“This is for every little Rez kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream and is seeing themselves represented in our stories told by ourselves, in our own words..." ~ Lily Gladstone

A Native American 28-foot canoe, estimated to be around 1,000 years old, was recently recovered from Lake Waccamaw in southeastern North Carolina. This remarkable discovery sheds light on the rich history and advanced craftsmanship of the indigenous peoples who once inhabited the region.
Lake Waccamaw is part of the traditional lands of the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe, known as the "People of the Falling Star." The canoe's discovery is significant for both historical and cultural reasons, providing a tangible connection to the tribe's ancestors and their way of life. The craftsmanship of the canoe indicates a sophisticated understanding of woodworking and boat-building techniques, which were essential for transportation, trade, and fishing.
The process of recovering the canoe involved careful excavation and preservation efforts. Archaeologists and experts from local universities and heritage organizations collaborated to ensure the canoe was safely removed and conserved. The waterlogged state of the canoe helped preserve it over the centuries, but also required delicate handling to prevent damage during the extraction.
Once the canoe is fully preserved, it will likely be studied in greater detail to learn more about the materials and construction methods used by the Native Americans of that era. Such studies can provide valuable insights into the daily lives, trade practices, and technological advancements of the indigenous peoples.
The recovered canoe will also serve as a powerful educational tool and cultural artifact. It is expected to be displayed in a local museum or cultural center, where it can be appreciated by both the public and members of the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe. This discovery not only honors the legacy of the region’s original inhabitants but also fosters a greater understanding and appreciation of their contributions to history and culture.
