CHRK 1010
Elementary Cherokee I
Course Description
The Cherokee language has been spoken for at least hundreds of years in North Carolina by Cherokees as well as their neighbors and friends. Unfortunately, the language is now in danger of disappearing because Cherokee children no longer learn the language at home. This course is one of many efforts to revitalize, maintain, and support the Cherokee language. It introduces students to the Cherokee language and culture and prepares them for more advanced language study by developing Cherokee speaking and listening skills.
