Tribal members to help develop plan for future

Written by 

Two outreach sessions for members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to develop a 10-year “legacy plan” for tribal lands, environment and natural resources have been setup by the tribe’s Natural Resources Department.

The sessions will be conducted on two dates:

• March 10 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for Snowbird/Cherokee County at the Robbinsville High School cafeteria.

• March 17 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for Cherokee at the Fairground Multipurpose Building.

Participants, through facilitated discussions, will have an opportunity to voice their visions and concerns, and also review the results of a community survey and youth/elders meetings conducted in late 2010.  

Staff from the Natural Resources Department will provide a storyboard presentation on the status of the plan, and on how tribal members’ voices will become part of that vision. Refreshments will be provided. 828.497.1898.

This Must Be the Place

    art garretI had never seen the color green like that before.

    Touching down at the Shannon Airport in southwest Ireland, the lush, vibrant green landscape of my ancestors took my breath away. It was August 2005, and I was about to embark on a collegiate semester abroad.

    Count my daughter among the millions of kids whose first word was “doggy.” For a several-week stretch, “doggy” was also her only word. She used it liberally, be it a salutation for the grocery store clerk or pointing out a squirrel in the backyard.

    We don’t have a dog anymore, but there’s something about dogs. Kids just love them. Mine are no exception.
