Cherokee Days 2018 - Western Cherokee History Presentation: Ernestine Berry

The museum's fifth annual Cherokee Days Festival brings together members from the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes (Cherokee Nation, United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) to celebrate and share their culture, history, and arts with the public.
In this lecture, Ernestine Berry gives a history of the Western Cherokees who became known as the Old Settlers when they moved from Arkansas to Indian Territory. This lecture was webcast live and recorded on April 14, 2018 in the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian.
