Brief Description: Come enjoy guest speaker Dr. William Anderson, Professor of History at Western Carolina University. Although most people are familiar with how the Native Americans adopted the white man’s culture and became “Americanized,” many are not aware of what we borrowed from the Indians. They affected virtually every aspect of our lives today including language, government, literature, recreation, medicine, hygiene and food. European impact on Cherokee culture was most devastating to nature. Europeans also influenced Cherokee politics and society and threatened their entire belief system. Their influence also brought dramatic changes in population size, settlement patterns and men’s and woman’s traditional roles. Although some European influences were positive, most were negative, and much of the Cherokee culture was lost forever.
