Lunch & Learn
Friday, April 24 at 12:30
Chapman Cultural Center
Join us to learn about Cherokees during the Revolutionary War.
As some colonists begin to fight for independence, some Cherokee leaders advocate for neutrality, while others align with Great Britain. Exploring the divisions in the Cherokee Nation helps us understand the deep divisions in the colonies. The aftermath illustrates how the creativity and adaptability of Indigenous survivors of war can make peace, overcome challenges, and build new lives.
Lunch and Learn is sponsored by the Chapman Cultural Center
There are a limited number of seats, be sure to register in advance (even members!)
Admission: $5 for non-members / Free for SCHA members.
Don’t forget to bring your lunch!
