- Abstract
The article discusses the Mapping Tahlequah History (MTH) project, which aims to understand and teach the history of Cherokee places in northeastern Oklahoma. The project involves collaboration between faculty from various departments at Northeastern State University and focuses on creating an interactive map of Tahlequah that includes information on history, culture, primary sources, oral history, linguistics, and language. The project seeks to respect and sustain Indigenous protocols and epistemologies and aims to make Native American and Indigenous histories visible to the public in ways that Indigenous communities want to be seen. The project also acknowledges the need to explore Afro-Indigenous histories and invites citizen scholars to participate. The article expresses gratitude to the Cherokee Nation and various organizations and individuals for their support of the project and recognizes the importance of historical sites, museums, and research centers in facilitating immersive learning. The text also discusses various topics related to Indigenous language revitalization, land-based learning, and mapping Indigenous presence, and mentions the challenges faced by Native American communities, including teacher shortages and the history of slavery within the Cherokee Nation.
