Résumé (en anglais)

The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is developing a cultural tourism program that is far-reaching, both geographically and in its potential social, cultural, and economic impact. To inventory, restore, interpret, and protect significant historic and cultural places, the program is constantly seeking a balance between the inherent tensions of maintaining authenticity while developing marketing opportunities. An example of this challenge is the Trail of Tears, the most painful of memories in the community’s history, yet the most identifiable and iconic when considering branding the program to attract tourists. This presentation will discuss the process for developing this ambitious program in a way that respects and promotes the identity of the Cherokee people through the active participation of the tradition bearers, such as elders, storytellers, and artists, while attracting national and international visitors to the Cherokee’s home in modern-day Oklahoma
