The Cherokee Heritage and Arts display introduces visitors at the Center to a culture and history that most are quite surprised to find.  You can learn much about this by visiting the CBTC primary page (particularly the Cherokee Timeline) and both current, and future, scrapbook photo pages found elsewhere in this site.  The story of the Cherokee Nation is a pretty incredible combination of achievement and sadness.  Facing the truth of these real episodes in the American saga can help us see who we have been as a people - all of us.  It can also guide us in determining who we wish to become.
