Land, Language, and Women: A Cherokee and American Education History

In Land, Language, and Women, Julie L. Reed reconstructs the educational worlds of Cherokee girls over the course of 400 years of Cherokee history. In this talk, she will highlight one girl, among the seven, Climber of Trees, a creatively imagined girl who came of age in what is today East Tennessee in the early decades of the 18th century. This innovative approach to Cherokee history and the corresponding footnotes highlight the significance of her time as a faculty member in the history department at the University of Tennessee and the relationships forged with the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Department, McClung Museum, and larger region over the course of many years.
