Our Story

The Cherokee National Youth Choir performs traditional songs in the Cherokee language. The choir was founded in 2000 as a way to keep our youth interested in and involved with Cherokee language and culture.

The group is an important symbol to the world at large, demonstrating that Cherokee language and culture continues to thrive in modern society. Since its inception the group has recorded numerous audio CDs. Choir members act as ambassadors, their beautiful and energetic voices uniting to show the strength of the Cherokee Nation and culture more than 160 years after a forced removal from our eastern homelands.

Interest in the Cherokee language has been rekindled among our young people largely through the success of the youth choir. Several area schools now use the CDs as a learning tool and other schools are interested in developing curriculum to teach Cherokee language and music. The Cherokee Nation is committed to make the preservation of our language and culture a priority. The students compete in rigorous auditions every year for a place in the choir.

While we are always eager to consider requests for performances, please remember that making travel arrangements for such a large group requires some time for advance planning. Therefore, we ask that you make your request as far in advance as possible.
