“The Nooherooka Monument has been designed collaboratively
between the Tuscarora Nation, Greene County Museum and ECU sculptors Hanna
Jubran and Jodi Hollnagel-Jubran. After pulling together many design elements

supervised the construction of the monument…
The Neyuheruke Wampum:
Was created in 2013 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of

the Tuscarora Reservation in western New York State and the North Carolina
homeland where the Tuscarora People lived for a thousand years–between the two
