Cherokee potter Crystal Hanna found her calling in clay through mentor and pottery legend Anna Mitchell. She shows us how she finds inspiration from the past while still carving out her own destiny. High school archery coach Ladney Keener leads his team to multiple championships through discipline, practice and love of the arrow. Cherokee artist Keli Gonzales shares how her art helps perpetuate the Cherokee language and traditional values while standing up for social justice and activism. We explore how different Cherokee life was for our ancestors before contact with Europeans. We observe the differences from our lives today, rooted heavily in nature and taking care of the world we lived in.
