Our Mission
To continue in being the leaders of our Cherokee language. We will provide articles, stories, lessons in our Cherokee language to as many Cherokee's that can only read & write Cherokee. Provide Cherokees to learn the Cherokee Syllabary so they can learn to read, write and speak Cherokee.
In the late 1980's several Cherokee's felt the Cherokee people needed a publication that provided information in our Cherokee language. So a group of us Cherokees formed the 501(c)3 "The Whitepath Foundation" in 1991. The development of the Cherokee font by Franklin McLain (PC) & Al Webster (Apple) for use with the personal computers allowed us to print articles, stories & lessons in our Cherokee Syllabary. Which our centerfold contained in every issue since 1992. The Cherokee Observer, the first independent Cherokee newspaper was developed to publish these articles, stories & lessons. http://www.cherokeeobserver.org is still published today . . . this is the 15th year we have provided this.’
We're a Federal Tax Exempt 501(c)3 Foundation - All donations are tax deductible to donors.
With your continued support and donations, we will continue in keeping our Cherokee language alive for our future generations.
