South Carolina Lower Town Cherokees: Their History and Fate?

Presented by

Alice Taylor-Colbert

The lecture explores the history of the Lower Town Cherokees in Upstate South Carolina as one of five regions of the Cherokee Nation.  It details how they lost their territory in the 1700s and explores where the people went thereafter.  The complex nature of Cherokee culture and government lay the foundation for the talk.  When they are displaced from the Upstate, the surviving Lower Town Cherokees have to choose from several possible destinations to rebuild their lives.
