This is a hand-printed scroll housed in a wooden box with a hand-cranking mechanism, all individually made.
This crankie is about the Cherokee legend of people they called the "Moon-eyed People," a tribe who lived in the Appalachian Mountains before they arrived and long before the colonizers arrived. This story is based on first-person accounts recorded by early explorers and scientists from the 1600s-1800s.
