Parins’ Article Focuses on Cherokee Land

Dr. James W. Parins, associate director of ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½LR’s Sequoyah National Research Center, has published an article in the most recent issue of Elohi – Indigenous Peoples and the Environment. The article, “The Shifting Map of Cherokee Land Use Practices in Indian Territory,” describes the adaptation of white land-use patterns by Cherokees after removal and prior to allotment. The collections of ÌÇÐÄVlog´«Ã½LR’s Sequoyah National Research Center constitute the largest assemblage of Native American expression in the world. The center’s mission – to acquire and preserve the writings and ideas of Native North Americans – is accomplished through collecting the written word and art of Native Americans and creating a research atmosphere that invites indigenous peoples to make the center an archival home for their creative work.
