Beginning Cherokee Ruth Bradley Holmes and Betty Sharp Smith Recent increased interest has produced a demand for Amerindian courses. Many Cherokees who ignored past opportunies to learn their language from their families are now regretting their loss. Those who do not have time for organized study would often like to have a convenient source book on the Cherokee language and its syllabary. Beginning Cherokee was written to fill these needs. This book, the first of it's kind, teaches the rudiments of Cherokee, which is the native tongue of about 20,000 Americans, although most of those who speak it use it only as a second language. Cherokee has had several recognized dialects in the past. The two main dialects today are the North Carolina and the Oklahoma; this book uses the Oklahoma dialect. It will help everyone, whether Cherokee or not, to understand that Indian people are contemporary people with an enduring heritage. The Cherokee language frames an outlook and an intellect that can contribute much to civilization in the future, as it has in the past. The package comes as a book with two audio CDs. $89.95

Cherokee Warrior Stories CD A lone Cherokee warrior looks across the Holston River at a European settlement that has invaded his country. This beautiful painting by Talmadge Davis illustrates the frustration the Cherokee felt as they tried valiantly to stem the flow of white invasion into their country. Once again, Gregg Howard, noted Cherokee teacher and storyteller, retells the stories of these brave men and women who fought to save their homeland - stories of battles between the Seneca, Iroquois and Americans during those turbulent years between 1700 and 1839. But more than that, this CD is a tribute to all American Indian veterans who have fought and died for these United States since 1812 - for the Cherokee who were finally permitted citizenship in 1921, for other displaced tribes in 1924 but not until 1946 for reservation Indians. The latter due to the efforts of the Comanche and Navajo in defeating the Japanese in WW II. These are their stories. $19.95
