Kathy LynnAn engaging Speaker, Teacher and Storyteller “ Kathy shares her Cherokee culture, through assemblies, lectures and workshops.”Osiyo (Hello), My name is Kathy Lynn Copeland.  I have been educating others about Native Americans for the past several years. All of my presentations are adaptable for any age – three through adult. I wear my traditional Cherokee regalia (clothing) and describe its various aspects.I have several wonderful programs available.  Please visit my website for a complete listing. My most popular program for adults, mid-school and high school is Cherokee History and the Trail of Tears, a PowerPoint and music presentation covering the pre-contact Cherokee through the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) in 1838. Through stories, props and pictures, I acquaint the students with the lives of Cherokee boys and girls. I have a variety of items to pass around and discuss. If requested, we can make beaded necklaces or the girls can make corn husk dolls and the boys grizzly claw necklaces. I also have a program aimed at Scouts, youth groups and schools that includes Native dance and culture.For teachers, review questions, a glossary and quiz is available. Presentations range from 30 minutes to one hour with multiple sessions throughout a day available.I look forward to sharing my love of my people and Native American culture with you.   Wado,Kathy LynnFor pricing information or to view my press kit, visit my website, www.anniesbook.com.
