is like wind on the buffalo grass."

"When legends die, there are no more dreams.
When there are no more dreams, there is no more greatness."
~Author Unknown~
As the Eagle Dancer goes forward, so do the legends of the Cherokee.

Upon these wings it will be taken to heaven and granted, for they are the messengers of the Great Spirit.
What is a Legend?...
A legend is a story passed by word of mouth from generation to generation. Legends live because of the truths in them. They are important parts of the culture of a people, perhaps because they help us understand the questions and concerns of related communities. American writer Stephen Vincent Benet said, "It always seems to me that legends and yarns and folk tales are as much a part of the real history of a country as proclamations, provisos, and constitutional amendments." A legend is a story that has lived for generations. You are often able to add to legends more parts and more truths because people will tell you more of the story.
