If you plan to report the assault you should not wash, comb, or clean any part of your body and if possible do not change clothes. You should go to the nearest hospital if possible. If you are afraid of going alone call a friend or family member you trust or you can also call a crisis center or hotline. There are some steps you can take to lower your risk of assault. Some of these steps include: -Be aware of your surroundings. -Walk with confidence, it makes you appear -Be assertive and don't let anyone stronger. violate your space. -Lock doors and windows even if you are -Avoid walking or jogging alone leaving for just for a few minutes. especially at night.

  • 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.

  • Ready for Ravens Resources December 2018
    Ready for Ravens Resources December 2018 “Rooty” the Raven -Illustrated by Leigh Alley SHS!19 Ready for Ravens Request to SUHSD Superintendent and School Board Trustees December 2018 The Ready for Ravens (R4R) Club was formed by a group of Sequoia High School (SHS) students in February 2018. The purpose of this club is to change the SHS team name from Cherokees to Ravens. The reasons for this include: 1. It has been confusing to have a mascot that is different from the team name. We would like the opportunity to experience the fun and traditions having a singular mascot/team name. 2. We want a team name and mascot we can feel proud of. 3. Native groups have clearly called both specifically to SHS and generally to all institutions for non-native schools to stop using native names for mascots and team names as they consider this racist and hurtful. 4. The new SUHSD non-discrimination policy calls for the elimination of discriminatory or racially derogatory team names. In 2000-2001 there was a similar effort that resulted in the school board passing a resolution to change Sequoia’s physical mascot from a Cherokee (acknowledging this perpetuated a stereotype) to a Raven but retaining the team name as Cherokees. The thinking was that without the physical representation, the Cherokee name would be seen as a way to honor Chief Sequoyah and his academic and civic accomplishments and that there would be no negative stereotypical association. Since then, many studies have been done and resolutions and laws have passed that make it the right time to revisit this, and we believe it is now time to change the team name to Ravens.
