It’s March 1st and it’s snowing outside. Ugh. But we have tulips blooming wildly on the kitchen table and birds at the bird feeder so there is consolation. That’s what I feel like life is right now; going from small consolation to small consolation like jumping from rock to rock in a rising river.

We were so thrilled to give our talk at The Museum of the Cherokee People.

3. Kirk and me with the wonderful Avery Maples, who organized the event.

My husband, Kirk Savage, and I will be giving a talk at the Museum of the Cherokee People on Thursday, Jan. 9th, at 5:30. We'll discuss our new understanding of my gr. gr. grandfather, William Holland Thomas's place the history of the Eastern Band of Cherokees, & what that of his father, Yonaguska.
