Participants will gaze upon various trade items and discover the impact trade had on both cultures. This program will offer insight into the overharvesting of fur-bearing animals, the growing dependence upon outside cultures for necessities, and even the heroic efforts of Abraham, a black slave brought into the Cherokee Country by one of the traders.  Meet at the Cherokee summer house.  423-420-2331
