Kathy Lynn Copeland and husband Joe brought and explained
artifacts which gave us insight into the lifestyles of members
of the Cherokee nations in the 18th and 19th Century at the
November society meeting. Mixed in was history of the Cherokees
from arrival in the Americas to their southeastern United States
lives and then their forced removal to the Indian Territory.
Especially interesting were the stories passed down from their
ancestors including how the coyote, blue birds, and red birds
got their colors. Also, Kathy related the tale of how the poor
old rabbit lost its long, beautiful tail. Minutes and the
Treasurer’s Report of the November 16, 2009 meeting are posted
in the File Archive in the right column.
