Literary Adventure with Cherokee Elder - Myrtle Driver

Every year CMS and the Public Library collaborate to offer the Literary Adventure, a highly successful component of the Library's Novello Festival of Reading where renowned children's book writers and illustrators visit with students in CMS schools. One of the featured authors this year is Charles Frazier, who spoke about his latest work Thirteen Moons. Cherokee Elder Myrtle Driver is translating Frazier’s book into the Cherokee language. On October 11th high school students from Phillip O. Berry were entralled by her presentation about Cherokee culture, history and the Cherokee language.

Ms. Driver provided the students with a rare glimpse into the mind of a native American from the sovereign Cherokee nation.
