Tears, I am so happy these young people are learning, they took it from us...our language. My morher's Grandmother was Chickawa, Southeastern NC, my Father was Seminole....he was raised in a Baptist Orphanage....we know not our family. We were robbed, the motto of the day was "kill the Indian save the man"...is all daddy told us...I miss my father, he was kind an gentle...

This is great! However I wish the tribes would create better language programs for cherokee tribal members who live far away. Especially us older folks who don't have great digital acess etc. Just a simple series of CD's of fluent speakers just talking, telling stories and singing songs that could be listened to over and over while going about one's daily tasks.. This is how young children learn a language. So many of the cherokee language programs are intensely linear and oriented for the school classroom. You guys are missing out on those of us who want to learn but cannnot fit into the clasroom model. A pen pal program for us folks would be great also. Creating a more realsitic and doable long distance apprenticeship language program for those of us who are not looking for a college degree, but who do need support and encouragement and connection to other speakers, would be fantastic. If this truly is an emergency then you need to make this all more easily accessible long distance.
I agree! I want to learn the languages and traditions of my ancestors people! There are many of us who are older, but still want to learn, and a space where we can meet to share and encourage each other would be a great blessing!
So good to see these programs! I am taking beginning Cherokee on line with Ed Fields via the Cherokee Nation (Oklahoma) so osda (good) and as folks say, we lift each other up! I'm 73 and my great grandparents came out from Missouri in the mid 1800s, so I'm far from the roots of CWY - so grateful for this chance to learn!
I have a book I bought at the museum in Cherokee, NC.that has the language and alpha bet and samples of Bible verses in Cherokee in it. I was under the impression Cherokee was being taught in the schools. I know the Navaho do this. Cherokee is a beautiful language. I've heard hymns sung in it. My Grandpa met an old gentleman named Mr Tom Jumper who invited us to his church. Beautiful singing.
Osiyo My conversation with the Federal Gov. to Free Native American Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier who’s been falsely imprisoned going on half a century and to honor the Indian Treaties (pre-constitutional law) forming the basis of our great nation was almost entirely redacted on national TV shortly before the insurrection because it demanded that the then President also relinquish the nuclear codes which has never been done. Oct. 2020 I spoke with at least around a dozen federal agents including the FBI and even the US Navy. Trump says before being elected, “We have nuclear weapons so why can’t we use them?” Nancy Pelosi confirmed to our international audience on national TV that indeed they where removing the nuclear codes with the help of the CIA and if anyone has any questions they could just call up and ask. What followed only confirms nuclear tensions where about to explode. The redaction is worth at the minimum trillion$ more than all moneys because with nuclear war lights out! Nothing! This simultaneously addressed the other largest nuclear power and all the rest without having to address any of them directly except our own. T
I didn't go to college, although I believe it comes from heart. Also alot of people try to block it out cause of the hardest things everyone has been lost.
You can now download an app that will help with learning the sylabbary and if you have an android I know there are two apps one for animals and one for the syllabary.
My family descends from the McCall family in NC that intermarried with Native Americans and I have a tin type of my ancestress who was Native American. She was born in 1804.
My grandmother, Lora Avis, all her siblings & one daughter, Lora Phillips are on the Dawes List. Avis' Father was 1/2 Cherokee. His mother, Dolly Floyd was full blood Cherokee. Lora Avis' mother, Minnie Azabell Kingston was 100% Seminole. They were from Wheeler, Kentucky. Minnie was cousin of Jimmy Carter, family from Georgia. July 1907 my grandmother, Lora Avis Jackson (1st born). Rbt. Jackson (2nd born) living in Campbell, CA is 99 yrs. Minnie's buried in Phoenix AZ. I resemble my father Prussian, French & Flemish ? My Siblings resemble grandmothers people. We all have dark eyes I was born with black hair but everyone's getting gray now. I'm 74 DOB 1/1/48.
I would like to learn Tsalagi. My relatives are on the Dawes rolls. My Great Great Grandpa was 100%. My grandma told me that our relatives "passed as white" to avoid racism.
@@lovediana4216 my grandparents were on the Delaware Reservation in Kansas. The Delawares and Shawnees were adopted at the same time the Descendants of Freedmen were adopted. Everyone is a descendant. Freedmen and Cherokee. Some we’re full blood and some were less. Many slaves were half white.

The Hebrew native Cherokee . Are the colored Natives as well. I don’t see them in the language school . So come to Atlanta and Macon GA . To speak to the people about joining the school to learn the language this needs to be wide spread.
So, because the past few generations of my family have white mixed in, I don’t deserve to learn the languages of my ancestors? Even ancestors such as Chief Corstalk or Chief Corntassle ( known in his older years, before his murder, as Old Tassle)?? I have documentation of my ancestry, but I still don’t deserve to learn and speak it. Because my skin is paler than yours. But darker than the white folks. Alright then
@@sonyamckinley8873 Your skin is beautiful, not matter what any evil/racist person says. The same isn't said about the elegant language that is English, so why say that about Cherokee?

I don't know who "they" are. But I believe the past is in the past, and to know Cherokee and not teach it is stealing an opportunity to pass it on.

My family is from Chapel Hill. They migrated to Ms.

Check our mango. It’s an app I use to teach my nieces and nephews
If your relatives passed as white it probably wasn’t to avoid racism but because they were more white than Cherokee.
