About Lawrence Panther

Siyo, Lawrence Panther dawadoa. (Hello, my name is Lawrence Panther) and a citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. I am a fluent speaker, a self taught of the Cherokee written language. I am originally from Kenwood, Oklahoma. My mom and dad were fluent speakers also. Cherokee was spoken in our home and at family gatherings.

I started learning to speak English when I was about six years old when I started going to school.

I was eight years old when I was sent to an Indian boarding school, (Seneca Indian School, Wyandotte, Oklahoma). At the school, all the Indian students were already speaking English. Thus,  I was immersed in English at the Indian boarding school.

I am a graduate of Sequoyah High School, Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and a proud alumni of Northeastern State University, Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Currently, I reside in Kansas, Oklahoma. I work as a Cherokee Language teacher at Stilwell High School, Stilwell Oklahoma and as an adjunct instructor (Cherokee I) at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
