    We spend time on the job with Dale Lee Glory as he oversees Cherokee Nation's bison herd. We learn how his time on the rodeo circuit prepared him for his dream job today. Cherokee Nation citizen Tonya Wapskineh is a community health advocate who believes health and culture go hand-in-hand. She tells us how diabetes prevention can be achieved through healthy eating and by practicing traditional Cherokee games like chunkey. Kindra Swafford is an award-winning mixed-media and watercolor artist. Through her bright and vivid work, she has found a community of Cherokee artists that help her to hone her skills and tell her own story. In our Cherokee Almanac, we see how the forced removal of Cherokee people to a strange new land in the west brought about changes in the traditional plants, materials and other aspects of daily life. We explore the ways in which our ancestors held on to their culture in a turbulent time.
