Heritage grant Take yourself backwards in time. There are no cities or towns in the area we now call Western North Carolina. Nor are there any roads as we know them. The Cherokees who inhabit the area as yet have had no contact with the European world. There is no well-defined language yet. It is the pre-literate period. To travel from place to place and to get back home, the Cherokees must rely on the guides available—perhaps a certain bend in a river as it cuts through a wide valley, or perhaps shining rock cliffs that one knows from experience should be passed on the right. These are the road signs, the things later to be mentioned to others in explaining where one has been and what one has seen. Inevitably, stories are associated with peaks shaped like chimneys, or mountains where there seem to be an abundance of wolves. Now come forward in time. Riding along U.S. 19, 1-40. U.S. 74 with road maps tucked securely away in the glove box, one passes by places like Whiteside Mountain, Gregory Bald, Clingman's Dome, Hickory Nut, and Nantahala Gorge, the Little Tennessee River, the French Broad, and such...the same landforms that once oriented the Cherokee. Now through a $15,112 National Endowment for the Humanities grant that has been awarded to WCU's Mountain Heritage Center in support of "Mythic Maps: Cherokee Legend in the Geography of Western North Carolina" this segment of the area's history will be preserved. Sam Gray, museum specialist at WCU's Mountain Heritage Center, and center director Dr. Clifford Lovin will produce an exhibit in two editions—one that will remain stationary at the center for six months per year, and another version which will travel for six months. "The exhibition will provide an insight into the stories and legends surrounding local geography that the Cherokees used to orient themselves to landscapes and in the discussion of location and geography with each other," said Gray. The exhibit will consist of a display of photographs, artifacts tape, and a series of oil paintings depicting the Cherokee legends by Rachel Harris, herself a Cherokee Indian. Nursing grant A grant of $13,850 has been awarded by the Kate B. Reynolds Health Care Trust of Winston-Salem to fund the second year of the Community Summer Internship Program of the School of Nursing and Health Sciences at WCU. The grant will provide stipends and travel monies for 20 rising seniors in nursing and health sciences to gain clinical experience this summer in hospitals and health departments in the seven southwestern counties of North Carolina. Each intern will spend five weeks in a clinical facility. The student will work in his chosen professional field for four weeks, and will spend the remaining week being introduced to other clinical departments. The five areas of clinical experience offered include emergency medical care, environmental health, medical record administration, medical technology and nursing. Area hospitals will provide meals and, in some instances, lodging to interns. Jennie Y. Rominger, director of the WCU Health Sciences Continuing Education Program will serve as director of the internship program. The program was developed, she said, to provide additional clinical experience, to interest students in careers in western North Carolina, and to give regional hospitals and health departments an opportunity to evaluate the students as potential employees. Western Carolina University faculty members and professionals at selected clinical facilities will supervise, teach and evaluate the interns. Criteria for selection to the program include a high scholastic standing, interest in a professional career in the region and an ability to adapt to the clinical environment.
