Wow, thanks guys. What an interesting interview. The elders in any family always have a lot to share about their history. Maybe I’ll think about interviewing my Grandfather the next time I see him. Oral Traditions and keeping stories alive are important in any family, but especially important in Native Traditions. All that the native people had were their stories that they passed down from generations.

The next segment has a lot to do with Oral Traditions. It’s called Poetry Corner. Here’s our guest,

______________________________ that will read to you!

_________________________here’s a poem called Cherokee Rose, by Marc McCord.

Seven petals for seven tribesgrowing on the trail where they cried.Center of gold for the land white men stole.Four thousand of my ancestors died.The trail was long, the journey harshcrossing a thousand miles of mountain and marshand in the place where proud people thosecried the tears that watered Cherokee Rose.

Oh Spirit Wolf, oh Spirit Owlhear the winter winds that howl.Oh Spirit Eagle, oh Spirit Deerwhy did so many have to die here?

One nation prospered, one nation fell.One went to heaven, one was sent to hell.Cherokee Rose that blooms in springreminds us of the songs they sing.

White petals, a sign of those tearsthat still wet the ground after a hundred fifty yearsremind us all of what was lostfrom proud people who bore the ultimate cost.

Seven petals for seven tribesgrowing on the trail where they cried.Center of gold for the land white men stole.Four thousand of my ancestors died.
