Our
Goal
Our goal is to help and assist people of the Cherokee
descent and the general public in learning about and preserving
the History, Culture and Traditions of the Cherokee people,
especially in Georgia.
Our hope is to build and establish a modern day
Museum, Council Grounds and audio visual learning Center for
all Georgians and visitors to learn from and enjoy the History
and Culture of its Cherokee people, past and present, the Greatest
Indian Tribe in North America, and a member of the original
five civilized Tribes.
It is also our wish to build a reinternment cemetery
