When English colonists arrived on the shores of their 'New World', they set about the God-given task to 'subdue the earth and till the soil'. They founded Jamestown on the great Bay of Chesapeake. Yet, surrounded by the natural wealth of the most prolific estuary in North America, the English starved to death. Inland lay the 'endless forest' - home to the Cherokee who like all other tribes had a very different view of wilderness and wildlife. This land did not belong to them; they belonged to the land. Now their world would change.
