What's Coming
Community Program
Oral History Recording Sessions
We are scheduling sessions with community elders to record their testimonies, family histories, and personal memories. If you are a community member and would like to participate — as a subject or as a volunteer recorder — please contact us. These recordings are among the most urgent work we do.
Annual Gathering
Tribal Gathering — Gainesville
Our annual community gathering. Five hundred people. One community. Details to be announced. If you are a descendant and have never attended, this year is the year. Contact us to be notified.
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.
A Foundation-sponsored community day at the Beulah Rucker Museum, 2101 Athens Highway, Gainesville. Programming for children and families, guided tours, and a living history presentation connecting Beulah Rucker's school to the broader Cheraw Monacan story. Date to be confirmed.
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.
