We do not live — you do not visit — a dot on a map. We are not shaped by imaginary lines — we are shaped by place.
This place, Cheoah — the birthplace of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, is defined by a living culture and history that we all walk through together. The ground we till, the roads we drive, the trails we hike, the giant trees we stand beneath, the waterfalls we stand in awe of, even this particular window into the night sky form our daily experience.
To those that live here every day as well as to those fortunate enough that this place remains for you to visit and enjoy — take the time to look and learn and then allow that knowledge to change how you walk, live and visit in this place.
We encourage everyone as you are walking the greenway around the high school to take a moment by the cane patch to see this generational event. Stop and read the interpretive signage along the path — and teach your children.
✨This is how we danced out the end of the first opening night of Dancing on the Square las year — the music stopped, the dancing stopped and everybody laughed!
Don’t miss out on all the fun tonight — join in! Bring your shoes, chair, and a friend. (And maybe an extra layer for the cool evening.)
