  5. Brief History Anna May (Yohe) Irvine Great-Grandmother, Anna May Yohe, was of the Eastern tribe of Cherokee. Her parents escaped the Trail of Tears as they were one of many that hid out in the Great Smokey Mountains when the US. Army was busy capturing their family and friends in an effort to move them west. Her family migrated north, settling in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She met and married my great-grandfather, Washinton Irvine. Her middle son, Harry, my grand-father came to Cumberland at age fifteen to work in the Tin Mill. He later entered politics, holding many offices, the last one being the mayor of Cumberland, MD.

  6. Legend of the Cherokee Rose Mother’s of the Cherokee grieved so much for their children that the chiefs prayed for a sign to lift their spirits. From that day a beautiful, new flower, a rose, grew wherever a mother’s tear fell to the ground. Color white—is for a mother’s tears Gold—is for the gold taken from Cherokee lands Seven leaves—represent the seven Cherokee clans that traveled the “Trail of Tears”

  7. Indian Beadwork Grandmother’s talent for beadwork was never practiced until I began the hobby twenty years ago. I have completed belts, earrings, necklaces, dream catchers and medicine wheels. My work is done on a handmade loom, which was made by my father. A modern version of it is seen below.

  8. A design is made and loom is prepared Beads are threaded accordingly to color design The thin beading needle is then worked through the beads going over and under the thread warps and the direction is reversed when working needle back through. Result: beautiful color design as seen above.

  9. AMAZING GRACE IN CHEROKEE u ne la nv i u we tsii ga gu yv he ihna quo tso sv wi yu lo sei ga gu yv ho nva se ni i u ne tse ii yu no du le nvta li ne dv tsi lu tsi liu dv ne u ne tsvc lo ni gv ni li s qua diga lu tsv ha i yuni ga di da ye di go ia mi e lo hi gvu na da nv ti a ne hvdo da ya nv hi litso sv hna quo ni go hi lvdo hi wa ne he s di God's Sonpaid for us.Now to Heaven He wentafter paying for us.Then He spokewhen He rose.I'll come the second timeHe said when He spoke.All the world will endwhen He returns.We will all see Himhere the world over.The righteous who liveHe will come after.In heaven now alwaysin peace they will live. John Newton wrote Amazing Grace in 1779. The Cherokee could be heard singing this as they were forced to march west in the historic “Trail of Tears”. The Cherokee has adopted the hymn . Unofficially some claim it as their National Anthem. * An amazing fact about Mr. Newton is: he was a non-believer in God until he reached his twenties. It was in his early thirties that he became a devout minister.

  10. Amazing Grace is a hymn that is sung by people of all ages… I have learned to sing it in the Cherokee language…… As you listen to the haunting words, close you eyes and imagine being forced to march from your homeland, while enduring the cruelty and starvation that these innocent people suffered needlessly.
