We Are Still Here

Learn about the culture and resilience of the Cherokee people through this facilitator-led experience.

Students will discover the history of the Cherokee in North Georgia and surrounding areas. They will engage in interactive activities that help them gain an understanding of Cherokee culture and how it was affected by the arrival of Europeans. Through an exploration of language, artifacts, oral storytelling and Indian removal, students will gain a greater understanding of the history of the Cherokee. They also will see the ways Cherokee values and practices continue to exist today despite the challenges of the past.

When weather permits, this tour uses outdoor spaces on our campus, including Wood cabin and Swan Woods.
