DescThe Museum of the Cherokee People (MotCP) opened an exhibition called Disruption: An Artist Intervention to the Museums Main Exhibition. An art intervention installed throughout the Museum of the Cherokee Peoples permanent exhibition, Disruption invites 36 Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) and Cherokee Nation artists to respond to the removal of funerary and culturally sensitive objects from public view. Made using traditional aesthetics, the contemporary works disrupting the Museums archaeological timeline-drawn and painted, carved from wood, shaped in clay, woven in thread, and crafted using a number of innovative mixed media methods-offer Native perspectives on Cherokee culture, history, and current issues.Desc

Pt X, Line 2The Museum of the Cherokee Indian is exempt from federal income taxes under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Code, however, income from certain activities not related to the organizations tax-exempt purpose may be subject to taxation as unrelated business income. The organization had no income from unrelated business activities in 2023 and was, therefore, not required to file Federal Form 990-T (Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return). The organization believes that it has appropriate support for all tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that are material to the financial statements.
Pt III, Line 4The museums collections consist of a library, historical artifacts, and an artifact register. The collection permits and enhances the organizations ability to preserve the history, culture, and traditions of the Cherokee Indians.
Pt V, Line 4Endowments are held for future emergency operations.
