Saving A Lost Language

Students learn about the link between Cherokee language and culture. By 2000 BC, Cherokee language and culture spread throughout the North Carolina Mountains. It was almost lost to history, but now Western Carolina researchers are working with the Eastern Band of Cherokee to study, preserve and grow the language once again.
