Guest Opinion. For Cherokees, agriculture has always been more than another industry. Producing our own food is not only a means of sustenance for our people; it is a cornerstone of our self-determination and cultural preservation. Now, a groundbreaking investment in Sequoyah High School’s agriculture education program will help convey that dedication to the next generation of Cherokees.
