After a two-year respite due to COVID, Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin said he was delighted to return to see old friends and tribal members at the Georgia Cherokee Community Alliance's at-large meeting held on Saturday, Jun. 4 at Laurel Park in nearby Marietta. Chief Hoskin updated the hundreds gathered on tribal business and encouraged them to stop by the various services tables set up at the event.

In the weeks leading up to Marietta's Juneteenth celebration on Jun. 18, the Marietta History Center will present a showing of the four volumes of The Lemon Street Chronicles.
