Uligohvsdi - Fall   When cool breezes blow and leaves fall, we say otsaliheliga... ...as shell shakers dance all night around the fire, and burnt cedar's scent drifts upward during the Great New Moon Ceremony. ...as we clean our house, wear new clothes, enjoy a feast, and forget old quarrels to welcome the Cherokee New Year.
