“We are thrilled to have the Warriors of AniKituhwa perform at The Center and share their story with us,” said Laura Glover, Managing Director of Marketing. “They are continuing to keep the traditional dances and the heritage of the Cherokee people alive for all to see and hear.”

The Warriors of AntiKituhwa bring to life the Cherokee War Dance and Eagle Trail Dance, as described by Lt. Henry Timberlake in 1762. They also perform Cherokee social dances, including the Bear Dance, Beaver Hunting Dance, and Friendship Dance and talk about the significance of the dances, their clothing, and Cherokee history and culture.
They have been designated as the official cultural ambassadors by the Tribal Council of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and sponsored by the Museum of the Cherokee Indian.
Both performances are brought to The Center for Rural Development through a grant received from the South Arts Traditional Arts Touring grant program, which promotes public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the traditional arts in the South. www.southarts.org
