Cherokee Language Intensive - 2026


Our Cherokee Nation and Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. is bringing us another opportunity to help save our beautiful language, the root of our culture.

Come join us for a Cherokee language class taught by Cherokee Nation teachers. Let’s learn together and help preserve and perpetuate our language as a cornerstone of culture! This course will involve up to 30 hours of instruction.

Schedule:

  • Virtually, Tues-Wed-Thurs, March 17-18-19, 6-8 pm Pacific Time

  • In-person, Sat-Sun, March 21-22, 9 am - 4 pm Pacific time in Sacramento, CA

    • Face-to-face Cherokee Nation teacher interaction for one full weekend

  • Virtually, Tues-Wed-Thurs, March 24-25-26, 6-8 pm Pacific Time

Your Cherokee Nation is paying for everything and working with your local affiliated at-large organization, Cherokees of the Northern Central Valley (Sacramento, CA), to assist with the arrangements.

What we need from you is a commitment of time and energy. Every two weeks, research indicates, a language is lost. Be a part of the historical renaissance of our existence by committing time and energy into attending online courses and one full weekend of in-person study by language instructors of the Cherokee Nation.

If you are up to the task, please fill out the form linked below and commit yourself to helping save your tribe’s culture.

By submitting the form below, you promise to take the course in its entirety which is 100% synchronous, whether virtual or in-person. Research indicates video recordings are an ineffective tool for teaching immersive language; therefore the only option is to participate in the virtual events.

You may email us at cncv.communications@gmail.com with any questions.

ᏩᏙ (Thank you) for your willingness to learn and share the language that our ancestors primarily spoke.
