Ashley Thirsty-Vann is a Cherokee Nation citizen and genealogist working to bring generations of family history into focus. She leans on the strength and encouragement passed down from generations of Cherokee women to keep those roots strong. We watch as Gabe Simpson shows us how his grit and perseverance go a long way in realizing his dreams.
