On Saturday afternoon at 1:30pm I will be ending the conference with “How Do You Know? Understanding Evidence and Source Citations.”
You can see from the photos of the Osiyo Meeting Room on the conference brochure that it is a state-of-the-art facility. The speakers (and I have heard all except Ryan Mackey) are engaging and well informed. I recommend that you take this opportunity to learn about Cherokee ancestry research. I hope you can arrange to attend.
