Nancy Pheasant, an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Nation, currently resides in the Wolftown community of the Qualla Boundary in Cherokee, North Carolina. Nancy is passionate about promoting the rich culture and heritage of Cherokee women in today's society.
Inspired by her father, Nancy has become a renowned storyteller, dedicated to preserving and sharing the traditions and history of the Anikituwah/Eastern Band of the Cherokee people.
As a valued member of the Cherokee storyteller group, she is regularly featured at the Oconaluftee Island Park summer bonfire events.
NANCY SPOKE TO A STANDING-ROOM-ONLY CROWD LAST NOVEMBER, 7 WEEKS AFTER HURRICANE HELENE HIT. HER CHEROKEE WISDOM INFORMED AND - MORE IMPORTANTLY - COMFORTED A CROWD SEEKING SOLACE FROM THE STORM.
AND NOW SHE RETURNS TO SEE HOW WE'RE DOING AND TO HELP US ALONG OUR JOURNEY.
