SEASON 7, EPISODE 5

In this episode, Kenny Limore is known as “The Cherokee Noodler”. He is the picture of a true outdoorsman, managing a ranch and wrestling catfish from their holes in lakes and rivers all over Cherokee Nation. He takes us out of the lake and shows us how to keep the catfish biting.

Sara Hoklotubbe is a mystery writer whose books earn high praise from readers and critics alike. She aims to dispel myths often written about Natives while staying true to Cherokee culture through her characters. Her protagonist, Sadie Walela, does just that as a sharp Cherokee woman with an eye for solving crimes.

Serving as the Cherokee Nation’s Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Lizz Toombs feels a deep responsibility to protect our cultural assets and historic lands for future generations. She tells us why this is important to our survival and legacy as Cherokee people.

In our Cherokee Almanac, we explore how many aspects of American life were adopted by some Cherokees who viewed assimilation as the best survival tactic against American expansion. One such adoption was the practice of chattel slavery. We look back on an uncomfortable part of Cherokee history, the Cherokee Slave Revolt of 1842.
