Cherokee Nation arts office sets Trail of Tears show for April 10 and Water Crest festival April 18
Summary
Jane Oie, representing the Cherokee National Treasury Advisory Committee, announced the Trail of Tears art show opening April 10 and the Water Crest Festival on April 18; she also noted the recent passing of a named national treasure (spelling uncertain in the transcript).
Jane Oie, speaking for the Cherokee National Treasury Advisory Committee, asked members to support upcoming arts events, announcing that the Trail of Tears art show will open on April 10 and that the Water Crest Festival is scheduled for April 18 at the courthouse in Selene (spelled variously in the transcript).
“We have the Trail of Tears show which opens on April 10th,” Oie said, and she urged committee members to attend openings and support Nation artists. Oie also noted that a recent holder of the Nation’s "national treasure" designation had passed; when asked for the name she provided a name that was difficult to parse in the recording (reported in transcript as "Linda McCra"/"Linda Clearary"), and members confirmed the person had been a painter.
Oie highlighted ongoing arts programming as visual historians for the Nation and reminded members of upcoming events and classes; a councilor described multi‑generational participation in pottery classes as an example of the programs’ community reach.
Members asked clarifying questions about event dates and expressed appreciation for the arts office’s work; no formal action was taken during the report.
