  • Translation of tattoos
  • Translation of names and/or the giving of names in Cherokee for children, family members, pets, etc.
  • Translations intended for commercial use
  • Culturally sensitive material

All requests will be ranked in order of priority based on educational/cultural relevance and staff availability.
