Kuwohi Talk with Mary Crowe (EBCI) and Lavita Hill (EBCI)

Museum of the Cherokee People is honored to welcome Mary Crowe (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) and Lavita Hill (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), advocates who successfully led the effort to restore the name of Kuwohi (formerly known as Clingman’s Dome) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
In this conversation, Crowe and Hill will share their experience in restoring the name of this sacred place, from their initial inspiration to that day in September 2024 when the U.S. Board of Geographic Names officially made the historic change. This event is free of charge and open to all.
