You may want to contact Louie Griffen at:
United Keetoowah Band Tribal Council
2450 South Muskogee Avenue
Tahlequah #004#OK 74464
918-456-5491

Louie has been the driving force with the Keetoowah fiddler's contest for
many, many years. If there are traditional string instruments from our
people, or our relatives, Louie will know or be able to find out. And by the
way, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma are a federally
recognized Tribe separate from the other two Cherokee Bands (the Eastern Band
of Cherokee in Qualla, North Carolina, and the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, in
Oklahoma).
