IN THIS EPISODE​

Cohle Fowler is a gentle giant and a different kind of Cherokee warrior. He finds his inner strength through armored combat – medieval style.

Growing up in the hills of Northeastern Oklahoma Vyrl Keeter fell in love with flintknapping. Now decades later as a Cherokee National Treasure, his knowledge of rock formations and the stories they tell is second to none.

As young adults embarking on the beginning of their careers, Cherokee sisters Taylor and Brit Hensel are using documentary film as a way to navigate identity and gain perspective.

Named after the Cherokee word for “Eagle,” Wauhillau LaHay Lohman was a Cherokee journalist whose extraordinary career took her from the bustling newsrooms and broad skies of Oklahoma to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and eventually into the White House where she formed a friendship with First Lady Ladybird Johnson.

Cherokee speaker Betty Frogg and Cherokee Immersion School student Langston teach us the Cherokee way to say “Hello my name is,” and “Be quiet.”
