Description
The definitive resource on the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians recording their history, material culture, oral tradition, language, arts and religion. Mr. Mooney lived with, ate with, even spoke with the Cherokee in their native tongue, and his work was relied upon by students of Native American culture, general readers, and many of the Cherokee people themselves. This edition includes a forword from Michell Hicks, Principal Chief, and an informative introduction from The Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokeee, North Carolina.
