Cherokee Culture Series: A Taste of Tradition

 Join us at the Jackson County Public Library for a cultural program that invites participants to discover the rich culinary heritage of the Cherokee people on Thursday, June 26th at 6pm. Meeting in the Community Room, this discussion offers an exploration of traditional Cherokee foods and their enduring role in Cherokee life today.
The program begins with an overview of Cherokee foodways, highlighting wild game and foraged plants. Participants will learn about traditional methods of growing, harvesting, and preparing these ingredients, with special attention to sustainable practices.
A key highlight of the program is a live cooking demonstration, where we prepare traditional dishes. Attendees will witness the step-by-step preparation and can sample the finished foods. 
Free and open to the public, this program is part of the Cherokee Culture Series which was made possible by a generous grant from the Jackson County Arts Council. For more information please call the library at 828-586-2016. The Jackson County Public Library is a member of the Fontana Regional Library.
