The Museum of the Cherokee Indian offers courses that combine accurate information and scholarly content with the voices of Cherokee people and experiences on the Qualla Boundary. Since 1999, the museum has been offering the Cherokee History and Culture Institute for educators from all over the country, taught by Barbara Duncan, Ph.D., along with members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. The museum’s ten-day Cherokee language immersion course was developed through a grant from the Kellogg Foundation. Bo Taylor uses the Total Physical Response method and Rassius method along with culturally appropriate methods adapted for use with the Cherokee language.
