Abstract:

At the Cherokee Reservation in the state's western portion junior high school students collected artifacts from family and friends that reflect their Native American heritage. Teachers integrated Native American history into the standard curriculum of American history. Miss Louvica Wyman and John Kirk launched the program to create a collection of Cherokee wares to be opened to tourists visiting the Great Smoky Mountains and more importantly for Cherokee children's sense of identity.
