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 for ALL Cherokee remains found in Georgia and in the various Universities all around the Country who possess them. With your help and generous donations we can achieve this goal. Please take a moment and consider the following levels of sponsorship and make your secure donation directly through our website today by clicking here.
