Dan Hollifield
Artist for the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee
Osiyo,
I was born and raised in the mountains of western North Carolina
and now live on a part of my Great Grandfathers land. I am married
to a wonderful lady and we have two grown daughters, the youngest
is also a proud member of the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee.
I am indeed proud to be a part of the Georgia Tribe. Over a
period of several years I have documented my Cherokee heritage
back to the 1600's. I begin making the Cherokee flutes after
being inspired by a dream. I make the flutes entirely by hand
using tools that I have fashioned myself. I have never sold
a flute, I cannot sell what I was given by our Creator. I attempt
to do all things Cherokee and traditional as I know how. I do
this to honor our people and carry on a way of life that was
almost forgotten. It is my prayer that everyone who receives
one of the flutes will find peace and tranquility in playing
the flute.
