The Cherokee Elders Council promotes the Cherokee language, culture, and traditions.
We do this through teaching and community involvement.  
Charity is our passion, we operate a free store known as the Cherokee Rainbow House. 
Most of all we enjoy networking with our neighbors. 

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, composed of action oriented Cherokees 55 years and older.  
Our By-Laws require the Board-of-Directors have a simple majority of Cherokee members,  
but the general membership has no such constraints.
