This
month in 1762, marks the anniversary of the historic peace journey of
Cherokee leaders Ostenaco, Cunne Shote and Woyi accompanied by Junior
Officer Ensign Henry Timberlake to England to meet with King George III.
Last year marked the 250th anniversary of the trip and was celebrated with a Cherokee delegation facilitated by Cherokee Nation Cultural Tourism.
