Part 1: The Story
The Cherokee Nation Durbin Feeling Language Center, located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, is an institution dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of the Cherokee language and culture. In their mission to safeguard tribal artifacts and resources, the Language Center sought storage solutions that would not only provide efficient organization but also honor the Cherokee traditions and beliefs.
