A new episode of our Siyo from the Rez podcast featuring Cherokee National Treasure Noel Grayson! 🏹
Noel joined us in the studio to talk about Cherokee bowmaking and flintknapping and why he’s devoted his life to preserving and passing on these traditional skills.
He also shares a lot of knowledge — like why bowmakers gather their wood during specific moon phases — and reflects on the enduring tradition of gadugi and the matrilineal heart of our Cherokee society.
Tune in — and share this episode with anyone who loves Cherokee culture! It’s a good one. Enjoy!
