CherokeE Rock

Exploitation sweeps westward over the Appalachians in 1779 and engulfs a boy who loses his mother to smallpox, allies with a mentor squirrel, trains as a shaman and blood-brothers with a freedman during decades of pestilence and war, only to lose his people’s trust to a malignant medicine man before these old enemies collide in an epic good-versus-bad wolf revelation.

ᏣᎳᎩ ᎫᏣᎤᏲᏍᏗ

cherokee rose

A Georgia Freedman’s half-Cherokee daughter battles pestilence, bigotry, alcoholism, starvation and a record cold 1838 winter during a forced removal led by white profiteers and her father’s murderer to Indian Territory that earns her people’s respect and adoration as the Cherokee Rose, then illegally jumps her land allotment and faces a white jury in a trial that sets national precedents for the rights of Native Americans.

cherokee reel

The frivolous daughter of a freedman and a Cherokee strives to imitate a white socialite philanthropist but cultural conflict, the civil war, her sister’s murder and the death of a beloved husband compels a basic “Who am I?” confrontation with a Confederate demigod’s racist immorality that avenges her loved one’s deaths and molds her individual and indigenous identity.
