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.

Rebuilding a Nation: Cherokee Tribal Architecture, 1839-1907 Ellen Dement Hurd A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Architecture University of Washington 2019 Committee: Jeffrey Ochsner Louisa Iarocci Program authorized to offer degree: Department of Architecture ©Copyright 2019 Ellen Dement Hurd University of Washington Abstract Rebuilding a Nation: Cherokee Tribal Architecture, 1839-1907 Ellen Dement Hurd Chair of Supervisory Committee Professor Jeffrey K. Ochsner Department of Architecture The Cherokee Nation was forcibly relocated from their ancestral homeland in the American southeast to Indian Territory (in what is now the State of Oklahoma) in 1839. This thesis discusses the architectural history of the administrative and institutional buildings constructed by the tribal government in the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory. This analysis covers the period between 1839 to 1907, encompassing the years between the establishment of the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory and the admittance of the state of Oklahoma to the Union. In this period, the Cherokee Nation engaged in a process of acculturation both socially and architecturally, selectively adapting building forms drawn from Euro-American cultural traditions. This thesis argues that the Cherokee Nation used Euro-American architectural styles to demonstrate the tribe’s ability to govern themselves according to the standards of the United States and, therefore, their right to retain political autonomy.

Family and Nation: Cherokee Orphan Care, 1835-1903 Julie Reed A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by Theda Perdue, Committee Chair Michael D. Green Kathleen Duval Abstract Julie Reed Family and Nation: Cherokee Orphan Care, 1835-1903 (Under the direction of Theda Perdue, Michael D. Green, and Kathleen Duval) In 1872, the Cherokee Nation established its Orphan Asylum as a means to provide support and education to its orphaned children. The Asylum, like hundreds across the United States, provided a modern means to care for orphan children, but unlike other institutions in Indian Territory or the United States, the Cherokees controlled all facets of the institution. The Asylum combined English education, manual labor, and a home to hundreds of Cherokee children. As the Cherokee Nation faced threats from white settlement, federal proposals to make Indian Territory a United States Territory, railroad companies, and allotment, the Orphan Asylum emerged as a symbol of the Cherokees’ sovereign status and aided the transmission of traditional values rooted in community and family to its next generation. ii To my Nation, my advisors, my colleagues, my friends, my students, my family (especially my parents and my husband Nick), and most of all my greatest accomplishment Lilith Selu. iii Table of Contents List of Illustrations…………………………………………………………………………….v Family and
