Our Team
The LCS team is composed of a dedicated group of fluent Cherokee speakers who are committed to passing on Cherokee culture to a new generation.
I believe my role is crucial in helping restore the Cherokee language by teaching my knowledge of the language to the younger generation.ᎠᏬᎯᏳ ᎤᏤᏟᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏛᏍᏕᎵᏍᎦ ᎠᏆᎾᎪᏔᎾᎢ ᏣᎳᎩ ᎦᏬᏂᏍᏒᎢ ᏗᎨᏲᏅᎢ ᏧᎾᏍᏗ ᎠᎴ ᏗᎾᏛᏍᎩ.

Go to your fluent speakers and ask them how to learn your language. They will tell you what you need to do.ᏤᏅᏍᏗ ᏗᏩᏛᎯᏓᏍᏗ ᎧᎵ ᎠᏂᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᎠᎴ ᏔᏛᏅᏗ ᎢᏯᏛᏅᏗ ᏣᏕᎶᏆᏍᏗ ᏣᏤᎵ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ. ᏱᎨᏣᏃᎯᏏ ᏱᏣᏛᏁᏗᎢ.
