An Evening with Nancy Pheasant
Building and Rebuilding Community
FREE to the general public, but Eventbrite "purchase" of a free ticket is required. Nancy Pheasant's previous visits to Weaverville in November 2024 and early April 2025 - each a check-up on the state of our community post-Hurricane Helene - were standing-room-only. In order to keep attendance within the Weaverville Community Center's capacity of 150, we will require proof of ticket at the door.
Nancy Pheasant, an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Nation, currently resides in the Wolftown community of the Qualla Boundary in Cherokee, North Carolina. Nancy is passionate about promoting the rich culture and heritage of Cherokee women in today's society.
Inspired by her father, Nancy has become a renowned storyteller, dedicated to preserving and sharing the traditions and history of the Anikituwah/Eastern Band of the Cherokee people.
As a valued member of the Cherokee storyteller group, she is regularly featured at the Oconaluftee Island Park summer bonfire events.
