Explore Georgia’s rich multicultural heritage through folktales, chants, rhymes and literary stories drawn from Cherokee, African-American and Appalachian traditions. Students will wander the state through farmlands and forests, paddle across the Okefenokee swamp and cross over the Appalachian piedmont, encountering historic sites, native animals and interesting characters—all through the magic of stories told with humor and flair.
