Lessons from the Cherokee

Presented by Elachee Nature Science Center

Bring the whole family for a hands-on adventure into the world of the Cherokee Nation presented by Elachee Nature Science Center!

Perfect for curious explorers in grades K–5, this program lets children step into the shoes of Georgia's first inhabitants by playing traditional games, practicing historic hunting techniques, and discovering the secret "Talking Leaves" of Sequoyah’s amazing alphabet. Young naturalists will love hunting for the "Three Sisters" in the garden and learning to identify native plants that the Cherokee used for both snacks and medicine. As we explore Georgia’s mountains and plains, your children will gain a meaningful understanding of this proud culture’s history—from the excitement of the Dahlonega Gold Rush to the enduring story of the Trail of Tears—all through an engaging, outdoor experience that brings history to life!
