Cherokee Nation’s eighth season of “Osiyo, Voices of the Cherokee People” will premiere on osiyo.tv, on April 6 at 7 p.m. CT, followed by the broadcast premiere on April 9.
In its eighth season, the Emmy-winning cultural series will continue to explore Cherokee traditions and values, teach audiences to speak the Cherokee language and feature culture keepers, storytellers, first-language speakers and historical reenactments.
“Osiyo” will begin by highlighting Medal of Honor recipient Dwight Birdwel, followed by episodes introducing audiences to an action-packed stuntman, actor Miss Rodeo USA and the Cherokee community.
“As a lifelong storyteller and now filmmaker, I can’t think of a more important story to share than that of our tribe’s incredible legacy and the individual experiences and achievements of Cherokee citizens or a better means of sharing our culture than through the powerful lens of filmmaking,” said Jennifer Loren, executive producer, director and host of OsiyoTV.
