Events

Some of our events are for our tribal community. Others are open to the public. Both matter — for different reasons.

⬥ Signature Annual Event

Annual Cheraw Monacan
Tribal Gathering

2027  ·  Location to Be Determined

Every year, our people come together — descendants of the families who fled Oscarville, children of the names that trace back to Fort Christanna, elders who remember what Beulah Rucker told them. This is a homecoming for our tribal community — a day of testimony, recognition, food, music, and the affirmation of what has never been in question among ourselves: that we are still here. Attendance is for tribal community members and their families.

Public Lecture  ·  Open to All

Who Are the Cheraw Monacan? A Public Lecture Series

The Foundation is developing a public lecture series on Cheraw Monacan history — covering the Fort Christanna treaty of 1714, the paper genocide, Oscarville, and the unbroken chain of families from Virginia to Georgia. These lectures are open to the general public: students, educators, neighbors, researchers, and anyone curious about a history that has been deliberately hidden. Dates and locations to be announced. Contact us to be notified.

Community Building  ·  Open to All

Community Building Events — Hall County & North Georgia

The Foundation organizes and participates in community events that bring Cheraw Monacan people and the broader North Georgia community together. These are not performances or cultural showcases — they are genuine opportunities for neighbors to share food, stories, and history. If you are a community organization, school, library, or cultural institution interested in partnering with us on a community event, we want to hear from you.

Youth Program

Heritage Education Sessions

Working with families and community educators, the Foundation is offering heritage education sessions for tribal youth. These are not school programs — they are community programs, held in community spaces, taught by community members. Contact us to bring a session to your family or neighborhood.

Get Involved

Host or Volunteer

Our events exist because our community builds them. If you are a tribal member and want to volunteer at a gathering, host a heritage session in your home or community space, or help coordinate the annual event — we need you. The Foundation is not a staff of professionals. It is our people, showing up.

If you have a space, a skill, a car, a kitchen, or just two free hands — reach out. Every event we run is built by community members who showed up.
