Abstract:

"In the mountains of western North Carolina, Cherokee foodways have endured for centuries, an integral part of the tribe's identity. NC Cooperative Extension works to ensure that those traditions are not lost." The annual Cherokee Indian Fair in October showcases the agricultural, culinary and artistic excellence achieved by the tribe. Ronald "Chumper" Walker is director of NC Cooperative Extension's Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Center on the Qualla boundary.
