The special guest presenter for this workshop is Freeman Owle, member of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee. He is a former Social Studies teacher and a professional storyteller. He is known for his scholarship and teachings on Cherokee history and culture and he presently teaches at Western Carolina University.
