Located in the historic Cherokee National Capitol building, the new Cherokee National History Museum tells the story of the Cherokee people from the past into the present day. We worked closely with the Cherokee Nation to produce several media programs for the museum.
As visitors enter the museum space, they hear an ambient soundscape along with the Cherokee origin story narrated by an elder in both Cherokee and English. Another audio program provides first-person accounts of the Cherokee removal. Three short films illustrated by archival imagery sheds light into the time after the Civil War, when the U.S. government took even more land from the Cherokee.

A showpiece program, the three-screen film We Remain, was produced from a combination of ten interviews we filmed with members of the Cherokee Nation—from the principal chief to children from the Cherokee Nation Immersion School. Incorporating archival materials and contemporary footage, this film details the priorities of today’s Cherokee Nation as it provides health care, education, and housing to its citizens.
