UPDATED AND DESIGNED FOR TODAY!
Troy Wayne Poteete and designed by his wife Elizabeth, the
WRAPPING HAT, called ahis du lo in the Cherokee language,
is now available for today's Cherokee descendants who want to
honor the generation of Sequoyah.
The turban calls up memories of that group of Cherokees
who, in one generation during the time of Sequoyah,
transformed an illiterate affiliation of villages, connected
by clan and language, into a nation-state with a strong central
government and a higher standard of living and a higher
literacy rate than any of the surrounding states.
The turban of today symbolizes the Cherokee trait of
adapting while remaining the same; that Cherokee
national habit of absorbing current improvements, yet
retaining the distinct cultural identity that was
so precious to our ancestors.
