LETTER: A place of sanctuary for pets
We had dogs of our own, but we started to notice that there were a lot of stray dogs and dogs along roadsides that looked to be homeless and/or abandoned
EDITORIAL: Something smells fishy
There are 30 miles of fishable streams on the Qualla Boundary. Those streams have been here for as long as the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Water is not just a commodity to us. It is spiritual. It is a source of life. It is a resource for the continuation of the Tribe.
EDITORIAL: Road Kill
When it comes to crosswalk safety on the Boundary, the Tribe and Department of Transportation have made significant progress over years past.
