OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: Stop highlighting Cherokee objects
I’ve recently read an article titled “Carving a Path: The Future of Cherokee Art Collection” in my local paper about Driver Blythe’s journey into the world of art collection. While the article attempted to bring attention to a Cherokee centric view of art appreciation/appraisal, I believe it misses the point of art, specifically our Cherokee art.
COMMENTARY: Do you know how to get to the casino?
Wayfinding. The word is self-explanatory. It is about finding your way to people, places, and things. In the tourism industry, it is communicating the path to your attraction, amenity, or accommodation. In the past, that was typically done with signage on or near the location of your desired destination.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: Translate that
Christians worldwide read and rely exclusively on one translation of God’s Word, the revered KJV. That’s okay by me.
