A Cherokee Nation citizen originally from Pryor, OK, Julia has a warm and winning personality with a scholarly background on Native issues from her studies at the University of New Mexico. Some may remember her visit to Houston a few years ago to interview local Cherokees as part of a doctoral dissertation. Now on staff at Cherokee Nation, she is working on curriculum development in the local school systems. Refreshments are served. The Shakey Hollow Ceremonial Ground, near Conroe, TX, is the site of dances held the last Saturday of each month.

P.O. Box 692050, Tulsa, OK 74169. The Cherokee Cultural Society has been invited to return to the Houston Museum of Natural Science to help lead the upcoming Native American Heritage event. Tribal member Lee Holt, from the center, will visit and speak about their program. Activities will be held partly outside the museum, at the Sundial, and partly inside the Hall of the Americas, scene of last year's round of entertainment and educational booths. Still in the planning stages as of this mid-July writing, Dr. Dorothy Lippert, of the Museum, is contacting dance groups and tribal organizations.
