This is modern Native American life as told by an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation. \nThe word otsaliheliga (oh-jah-LEE-hay-lee-gah) is used by members of the Cherokee Nation to express gratitude. Beginning in the fall with the new year and ending in summer\, follow a full Cherokee year of celebrations and experiences. Written by a citizen of the Cherokee Nation\, this look at one group of Native Americans is appended with a glossary and the complete Cherokee syllabary\, originally created by Sequoyah. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n
