Established in 2010, the Central Texas Cherokee Township now has 46 household members with general meetings held in Austin, Texas. The township received 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in 2022. Its goal is to teach local Cherokees about Cherokee culture, history and language. Through recently awarded grants, the township has established partnerships with local indigenous groups and seven community gardens. To teach families how to grow fresh vegetables, it has developed a local seed bank as well as a home garden. The township’s recent honors from Cherokee Nation Community & Cultural Outreach include the Hunger Fighter Award, the Community Inspiration Award and the Strong Hands Award.
