Lighting the new fires of 2007

The annual fire ceremony takes place here at Kituwah Mound. Kituwah is the heart of all the Tsalagi peoples. We have lived close to the sacred mound for 10,000 years. It was here that the great spirit first gave us fire and named us The Tsalagi, called by The Europeans,"Cherokees".

When The Europeans drove the Tsalagi from their homes, the sacred land of kituwah was lost to us, but in 1996 a group of Eastern Tsalagi purchased the mound and 309 acres which surrounded it and Kituwah is once again the heart of the Taslagi Nation.

The ancient ones have long ago passed into the land of dreams. Nothing shall ever bring them back, but here in the electric dream of Ancient Worlds you may live once more among them in the green hills of Kituwah at one with the earth and the sky of The Tsalagi Territory. Come back to the earth.......... Come to Kituwah.

Help to keep alive the fire which has burned since the first morning of creation.

On this page is the record of the fire lighting ceremony of 2007.Here the fire always burns.
