Book Club

The Willamette Tsa-La-Gi Book Club meets every other month to read and discuss a variety of Cherokee works - historical, nonfiction, biographical, and more! Bring your curiosity, your voice, and your lunch (or a dish to share) as we explore Cherokee literature together.

Meeting Details:

  • When: Bi-monthly on Saturdays from 11am-1pm

  • Where: LCC Longhouse

  • What to Bring: Lunch or food to share, and an open heart for discussion

Past Reads:

  • Cherokee Earth Dwellers: Stories and Teachings of the Natural World — Christopher B. Teuton & Hastings Shade

  • Cherokee Stories of the Turtle Island Liars’ Club — Christopher B. Teuton

  • By the Fire We Carry: The Generations‑Long Fight for Justice on Native Land — Rebecca Nagle

How It Works:

  • A new book is announced about 6 weeks in advance (or chosen at the book club meeting)

Who Can Join:

  • All are welcome at any level of learning. You don’t need prior knowledge of Cherokee language or literature—just a willingness to listen, learn, and connect.
