Northeastern State University - Tsa La Gi Yearbook (Tahlequah, OK)

With the dawning of a new decade Tahlequah remained the sleepy college town that movies have stereotyped so well. A gazebo surrounded by war memorials stands in the middle of the town square. Elderly men sit on park benchs discussing issues of the world. God and country are still the order of the day. Everybody here knows everybody else. But Tahlequah is not as shallow as the movie image. This is a bilingual community in the heart of America, the capital of the Cherokee Nation. With the exception of Northeastern, Indians are without question Tahlequah’s leading industry. But the Cherokee tribe is more than just tourist money. The Cherokee tribe brought to Tahlequah the first newspaper, telephone and school, the ancestor of NSU. It was the Indian who brought civilization to northeastern Oklahoma.
