Over 50 Native American ancestors were reburied at an Army base and a national recreation area two years ago, and now a headstone inscribed with the Cherokee syllabary marks one of the sites. 

Sixteen housing units opened on Lambert Wilson Way in Whittier, N.C. following a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the warm afternoon of Wednesday, July 26.  The units set on a 5.34 acre tract of land that is the site of the former Whittier School and are a project of the Cherokee Indian Housing Division of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI). 

The sun shines through the top of a greenhouse as a Cherokee agriculturist tends to his plants.  James Bradley, cultivation manager at the cannabis farm operated by Qualla Enterprises, LLC in the Birdtown Community, planted the first seed at the operation and works hard to expand his own knowledge and skill in working with the plants.
