The students of Washington-Wilkes Primary School are spellbound as full-blood Cherokee Diamond Go-Sti told them about the history, language, and customs of the Cherokee people at the school all last Thursday. Go-Sti, a full-time Cherokee educator since 1992, presented his program "Touch the Earth with Native People." Sitting before an authentic Cherokee dwelling, he displayed instruments, weapons, and spiritual objects for the children. Teaching the students several words and phrases in Cherokee, Go-Sti pointed out that there were no curse words in the Cherokee language.
