The program will feature Feather Smith, Director of the Cherokee Nation’s Seed Bank. She will outline the mission of the seed bank and share how you can apply for an allocation of heirloom seeds to start your own Cherokee Garden this spring. While many of the seeds in our Nation’s bank are for food purposes, there are also those for medicine (both physical and spiritual). When one of our community members grew a bounty of gourds, we thought it would be of interest to learn more about the use of gourds in our culture. Thus, we have invited Roger Cain to speak at our meeting. Roger is an acclaimed carver of Booger Masks. In addition, if that phrase is foreign to you, this program will provide insights into Cherokee traditions in the fight against evil. We always invite our At-Large Tribal Counselors and we will ask them to address items of note from the Council House. Join us at 6PM (in person or via Zoom) on 2/16/23.
