EBCI Natural Resources staff along with partners from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission and Western Carolina University were looking for mussels to stock in Cherokee waters. Freshwater mussels are believed to have been eradicated from the upper Oconaluftee River many decades ago from various sources of pollution.

  • About Cherokee: a Media Resource Guide
    CHEROKEE MEDIA KIT ALL ABOUT CHEROKEE: A MEDIA RESOURCE GUIDE To get the clearest picture of Cherokee and its abundant attractions, it’s best to start with some background about the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. So, we begin our media resource guide with brief sections on our Tribe’s history and traditions, modern day Cherokee, and the responsibilities we take very much to heart. These initial background sections will be followed by a detailed listing of key attractions and amenities offered in the Cherokee area, along with specific links and, where possible, persons you can contact to learn more. This information is designed to help you write your story and we’re here to help any way we can. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians: Traditions, Stewardship Background: The Cherokee people have lived in the Southeastern United States for more than 11,000 years. Our people were known as the Aniyunwiyah or the Principal People. We are also known as the Anikituwahgi People or the people from Kituwah. Kituwah is the first village of the Cherokee which is adjacent to the Tuckasegee River not far from the present day Qualla Boundary. Pre-contact Cherokee population estimates the Cherokee at 50,000 who lived over a range of 140,000 square miles in what is now parts of seven southern states. Our people first encountered Europeans during DeSoto’s expedition in 1540, which led to period of devastating disease, war and, eventually, giving up land to European colonizers. The present day Eastern Band, some 15,000 enrolled tribal members, consists of descendants of Cherokee people who survived the infamous “Removal” (also known as “The Trail of Tears”) in 1839, during which thousands perished.

Hearths in caves have been dated to 23,000 B.C. at sites on the coast of Venezuela. Native people say they have always been here. The Cherokee people say that the first man and first woman, Kanati and Selu, lived at Shining Rock, near present-day Waynesville, N.C. The old people also say that the first Cherokee village was Kituwah, located around the Kituwah Mound, which was purchased in 1997 by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to become once again part of tribal lands. 10,000 BC-8,000 BC Paleo-Indian Period: People were present in North Carolina throughout this period, making seasonal rounds for hunting and gathering. Continuous occupation from 12,000 BC has been documented at Williams Island near Chattanooga, Tennessee and at some Cherokee town sites in North Carolina, including Kituhwa and Ravensford.

  • Revisiting Platform Mounds and Townhouses in the Cherokee Heartland: a Collaborative Approach
    REVISITING PLATFORM MOUNDS AND TOWNHOUSES IN THE CHEROKEE HEARTLAND: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH BENJAMIN A. STEERE Department of Anthropology, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC, USA This article describes the development and initial results of the Western North Carolina Mounds and Towns Project, a collaborative endeavor initiated by the Tribal Historic Preservation Office of the Eastern Band of Cherokee and the Coweeta Long Term Ecological Research Program at the University of Georgia. The goal of this project is to generate new information about the distribution of late prehistoric mounds and historic period townhouses in western North Carolina. This ongoing research has produced updated location and chronological data for Mis- sissippian period mounds and historic Cherokee townhouses, and led to the discovery of a possible location for the Jasper Allen mound. Using these new data, I suggest that David Hally’s model for the territorial size of Mississip- pian polities provides a useful framework for generating new research questions about social and political change in western North Carolina. I also posit that the cultural practice of rebuilding townhouses in place and on top of Mis- sissippian period platform mounds, a process that Christopher Rodning describes as “emplacement,” was common across western North Carolina. In terms of broader impacts, this project contributes positively to the development of indigenous archaeology in the Cherokee heartland. KEYWORDS: Cherokee Archaeology, Regional Analysis, Indigenous Archaeology, Townhouses, Mounds Prior to the late nineteenth century, the mountain is not incorporated into broader research frame- valleys of western North Carolina were marked by works (e.g., Riggs and Shumate [] on the dozens of platform mounds and townhouses built Kituwah Mound and Benyshek et al.
