Preserving ᏣᎳᎩCherokee
language and culture for future generations
Little Cherokee Seeds is a mother-infant Cherokee language and culture immersion program. Our vision is to see thriving Cherokee communities again; Cherokees who know and live their language, culture, and values and therefore are healthy, balanced, and happy people.
ᏃᏨᏛᏁᎰWhat We Do
ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗLanguage
At Little Cherokee Seeds, language immersion is at the heart of our mission. We nurture our children and mothers in the ways of our ancestors, helping them breathe life into our sacred tongue through everyday living. By recreating a Cherokee-speaking home environment, we help families develop a natural and deep connection to the Cherokee language from infancy.
ᎧᏃᎮᎸᎯTradition
Our Cherokee ways are the roots that ground us. Families come together to participate in the seasonal rhythms of our people – gathering from the land, crafting with our hands, and preparing meals that have nourished us for generations. All these activities are steeped in Cherokee customs and taught entirely in our language, weaving an unbreakable bond between our words and our ways.
