Abstract

This project discusses how folklore has played a part in keeping the tradition alive in Cherokee culture. Ritual, and tradition are key in learning how to basket weave, and this Native American Tribe has helped preserve it. In preserving this tradition, it has helped the traditional Cherokee culture go back to its roots and preserve its self in modern society. My research question is: How has basket weaving helped preserve Cherokee culture in modern times?
