This byway is one that possesses all six intrinsic qualities of a byway. The Corridor Management Plan is designed to enhance, preserve, protect and promote these qualities. This entire project is fully supported by the Cherokee Nation, the second largest tribe in America. The Cherokee Nation will provide leadership and continuity in the implementation of the plan. 1.0 Introduction to the Corridor Management Plan The Corridor Management Plan was carefully prepared by a group of community members, stakeholders and Cherokee Nation staff who together make the Cherokee Hills Byway Association. The group is not only extremely knowledgeable about this geographical area, they also have great expertise in their field of work, which coupled with their enthusiasm will propel this byway to greatness! 1.1 Corridor Limits The Cherokee Hills Byway is defined as beginning at SH 10 N (Carlisle Road) on the north side of I-40 (Exit 291) in Sequoyah County. The byway proceeds north along SH 10 to the junction of SH 10/SH 64 and then proceeds northwest to the town of Gore. From Gore the route continues northeast along SH 100 until it reaches the junction of SH 100/ SH-10A. At junction SH 100- SH-10A the route heads east on SH 100 and follows SH 100 east to the junction of SH 82. The byway then follows SH 82 into Cherokee County. Once in Cherokee County, the route continues north along SH 82/100 for 20 miles, passing through Cookson and Keys, to the junction of US 62/SH 10. At this junction the byway crosses into the city of Tahlequah, where US 62 becomes Muskogee Avenue. The byway travels Muskogee Avenue north through the City of Tahlequah to Downing Street. The byway follows Downing Street east to the SH 51 / SH 10/ SH 82 interchange, where it proceeds east and then north along SH 10 for approximately 20 miles to the Adair County line. The byway continues northeasterly along SH 10 through Adair County for 2.5 miles to the Delaware County line. At the Delaware County line the byway follows SH 10 north approximately 4 miles to the intersection of US 412 Alternate in Kansas, Oklahoma. At this intersection, the byway turns back east and follows US 59/412 Alternate approximately 12.5 miles ending at the Oklahoma/Arkansas State line in West Siloam Springs. This is the ending point of the byway. 1.2 Statement of Purpose The purpose of the Cherokee Hills Byway is almost identical to that of the Cherokee Nation’s mission: community, jobs and language. This byway will incorporate all communities along the route bringing to them economic development and jobs through tourism dollars. The cultural experience of the Cherokee people will increase awareness of the Cherokee language and the extensive work being done to preserve it, as well as all Cherokee traditions. This plan will be ever changing to meet the needs of the byway and its communities to strengthen them. 6 Cherokee Hills Byway CORRIDOR MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.3The Oklahoma Scenic Byways Program The Oklahoma Byways Program is a collaborative, grass roots effort to recognize, preserve and enhance selected roads throughout the state. Created in 1995, the Byways Program is a partnership between the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the University of Oklahoma Outreach Program (OU). Working with the federal National Scenic Byways Program, Oklahoma Byways seeks to support selected roads, promote communities and preserve irreplaceable resources. The Oklahoma Byways Program enjoys regional partnerships by working with agencies and communities in New Mexico and Arkansas to preserve and protect their byway resources. The Oklahoma Byways Program prides itself on being community driven and community led. This collaborative approach allows the program to address the specific needs and challenges in each community. The program relies on the involvement of community leaders and various agencies that have a vested interest in the success of the byway. Local residents and communities working together have the ability to voice their concerns and ideas on how to promote, encourage and protect their intrinsic qualities. These efforts form the foundation of a thriving program that accurately represents the byway’s regional and local issues. Oklahoma recently celebrated its statehood centennial, providing an opportunity for the state to honor its colorful history and reflect on its storied past. Fortunately, many of the state’s historic assets are still viable and accessible for preservation and protection. In many of our rural communities natural and historic man made environments are giving way to development. This transition creates an imperative need for Oklahoma communities to take the initiative in serving as stewards for their resources. The Oklahoma Byways programmatic focus is centered on the community and the importance of transportation to the economic livelihood of our cities and towns. Services offered by the Byways Program are dynamic and multi disciplinary and local entities are provided a diverse menu of programs and opportunities tailored to their specific requests. This partnership approach meets the customer’s needs and allows for customized delivery of services. A menu of “off the shelf programs” can also be adapted for particular community projects or activities. The Oklahoma Byways Program partners with over 43 faculty members at the University of Oklahoma to provide direct training and support to communities through a speaker’s bureau. Direct marketing and design support is provided to all communities along the byway corridor. Rediscovery projects provide master interpretive urban and regional planning. A variety of direct support is provided to businesses along the route to encourage innovative growth and small business development. Oklahoma’s collection of byways includes the Talimena Drive: a National Byway; the Dry Cimarron Byway; Route 66; Wichita Mountains Byway; the Osage Heritage Trail; Mountain Pass Byway; Mountain Gateway Byway; and The Cherokee Hills Byway.

  • The Lost Arts Project - 1988
    The Lost Arts Project - 1988 The Cherokee National Historical Society, Inc. and the Cherokee Nation partnered in 1988 to create the Lost Arts Program focusing on the preservation and revival of cultural arts. A new designation was created for Master Craftsmen who not only mastered their art, but passed their knowledge on to the next generation. Stated in the original 1988 brochure: “The Cherokee people are at a very important time in history and at a crucial point in making provisions for their future identity as a distinct people. The Lost Arts project is concerned with the preservation and revival of Cherokee cultural practices that any be lost in the passage from one generation to another. The project is concerned with capturing the knowledge, techniques, individual commitment available to us and heritage received from Cherokee folk artists and developing educational and cultural preservation programs based on their knowledge and experience.” Artists had to be Cherokee and nominated by at least two people in the community. When selected, they were designated as “Living National Treasures.” 24 1 Do you know these Treasures?

  • These Hills, This Trail: Cherokee Outdoor Historical Drama and The
    THESE HILLS, THIS TRAIL: CHEROKEE OUTDOOR HISTORICAL DRAMA AND THE POWER OF CHANGE/CHANGE OF POWER by CHARLES ADRON FARRIS III (Under the Direction of Marla Carlson and Jace Weaver) ABSTRACT This dissertation compares the historical development of the Cherokee Historical Association’s (CHA) Unto These Hills (1950) in Cherokee, North Carolina, and the Cherokee Heritage Center’s (CHC) The Trail of Tears (1968) in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Unto These Hills and The Trail of Tears were originally commissioned to commemorate the survivability of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) and the Cherokee Nation (CN) in light of nineteenth- century Euramerican acts of deracination and transculturation. Kermit Hunter, a white southern American playwright, wrote both dramas to attract tourists to the locations of two of America’s greatest events. Hunter’s scripts are littered, however, with misleading historical narratives that tend to indulge Euramerican jingoistic sympathies rather than commemorate the Cherokees’ survivability. It wasn’t until 2006/1995 that the CHA in North Carolina and the CHC in Oklahoma proactively shelved Hunter’s dramas, replacing them with historically “accurate” and culturally sensitive versions. Since the initial shelving of Hunter’s scripts, Unto These Hills and The Trail of Tears have undergone substantial changes, almost on a yearly basis. Artists have worked to correct the romanticized notions of Cherokee-Euramerican history in the dramas, replacing problematic information with more accurate and culturally specific material. Such modification has been and continues to be a tricky endeavor: the process of improvement has triggered mixed reviews from touristic audiences and from within Cherokee communities themselves.
