Tallige Cherokee Cultural Center
|
In 2000, Tallige Cherokee moved our Sacred Fire to 40 acres in Adams county.
|
| The Tallige Cherokee Cultural Center includes 40 isolated acres of forested
land with creeks and a water fall. The main house consists of
round rooms. (Yes, the rooms are round, just like our traditional
Round Houses. It was the Europeans the decided everything should
be square since square is easier to build. But round reflects the
circular nature of Life and Mother Earth). |
The natural beauty of
the Tallige grounds reveals the grandeur of Mother Earth.
A stream an numerous
waterfalls are found on the grounds. Water is sacred,
as it is the life
blood of Mother Earth that connects all living things.
The rocks are also
sacred. Below is Turtle Rock, a gigantic stone head of a turtle that
projects from a cliff
wall overlooking the valley below. This has been a sacred site for
Native Americans since
time immemorial.
| All those who are interested in following the
Traditional Cherokee Way are encouraged to join us. Just come by
on any of our monthly meetings or ceremonies.

There is much work to be done to make this new place our
home. The building needs to have the wiring replace, painting and
plastering throughout, and the drive regraded. We are also
rebuilding our Sacred Circle and Sweat Lodge. If you are able and
willing to assist us in these efforts your help would be greatly
appreciated. All contributions are tax deductible. Please
