MTB Skills Factory acknowledges that the lands we work and recreate on are unceded territories of the ᏣᎳᎫᏪᏘᏱ Tsalaguwetiyi (Cherokee) people who were forcefully removed and sent on the Trail of Tears to their “reservation” in Oklahoma in the 1830’s. The Cherokee that remained hidden in these areas, eventually bought back the land that is currently the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indian Nation, within the Qualla Boundary surrounding the present day town of “Cherokee, NC”. We thank these people (Say “sgi” in the Cherokee language) for the 1000’s of years of stewardship of these lands (which continues today). Go visit the Cherokee Nation to ride at the Fire Mountain Trail System, visit the Museum of the Cherokee, and the Oconaluftee Indian Village.
