  • ICKET DOES MANY THINGS . . . The ticket you purchased to see Unto These Hills is helping provide a better, more abundant life for the Cherokee Indians of Western North Carolina. It is insuring a college education for Indian boys and girls whose opportunities for higher learning have heretofore been limited. As a non-profit organization, the Cherokee Historical Association which produces Unto These Hills is using its surplus funds to broaden Cherokee incentive and open up new, unlimited opportunities for the Indians of the Qualla Reservation. Since 1951, the Association has: 1. Paid $588,257 in salaries to Cherokee Indians. 2. Purchased more than $25,000 in materials from the Cherokee. 3. Paid $48,029 through a levy into the Cherokee Community Services treasury. 4. Expended $21,518 in developing Cherokee Indian community development program. 5. Provided $18,000 in college scholarships for Indian boys and girls. 6. Established $3,200 revolving loan fund for students. 7. Expended $7,847 during 1956-57 school term in an educational program. 8. At a cost of $6,000 constructed a curb market for the use of Cherokee farmers. 9. Spent $3,875 in constructing school bus waiting stations for Cherokee children. The long term constructive aid program to benefit the Cherokee Indian has been made possible by the success of the Association-sponsored drama, Unto These Hills. The drama itself is acting as a new stimulant for the Indians themselves, for the mountain people who make a living through their handicrafts, and for the communities which depend upon the traveling public for a livelihood. In addition, through its educational, cultural and religious program, the Association operates a year-round school of fine arts, arts and crafts. Twenty
