What is Yun'wi Gunahi'ta?

Yun'wi Gunahi'ta means "Long Man" in the lower Cherokee dialect.  For the Cherokee, Yun'wi Gunahi'ta was the formalistic name for the river, personified as a man with his head resting on the mountain and his feet stretching down to the lowlands, who is constantly speaking to those who can understand the message.  This new level of giving is intended to secure the long-term future of the Coalition and the protection of the Hiwassee River watershed.  Individuals who wish to participate pledge to give $100 annually in support of the Coalition.  This support is a specific revenue line item in the Coalition's operating budget.  The first 50 individuals to pledge support at this level will receive a paperweight as a special thank you for enrollment in the program.
