Episode 2: Roots Run Deep
In this episode of Fireside with the Chiefs, we explore the deep historical roots of Franklin County and its connection to the Chickamauga Nation.

From historical records dating back to the 1500s to the modern-day fight for acknowledgment, this conversation sheds light on why Franklin County holds such profound significance for the Chickamauga people—and why preserving this history matters now more than ever.
