ᏣᎳᎩ ᎦᏚᎩ Group Invited into the Cherokee Nation's Treasure Vault !

Shown in the photo taken in the Cherokee Nation's national treasure vault is Jesse Bushyhead's eleven-year-old son's rifle that the boy carried during the forced removal. Bushyhead led a detachment over the Northern Route.

Several members of our group attended the Nation's Community and Cultural Outreach tour for at-large citizens recently. The group was invited into the vault to view an immense storehouse, climatically controlled for preservation, with strict instructions not to touch the artifacts. This access by the public is a very rare privilege and our members totally enjoyed the unique experience.
