    Hawk Littlejohn – Eastern Band Cherokee Hawk Littlejohn Hawk Littlejohn (June 12, 1941 – December 14, 2000) is considered to be one of America’s greatest contemporary Native American flute makers. At the time of his death, he was living in Old Fort, North Carolina, where he made his flutes and kept alive his native Cherokee traditions. His expertise in Native American medicine afforded him a position as adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s medical school, and as a cultural consultant for the Smithsonian Institution and the North Carolina Museum of History. He also wrote essays on Cherokee life, traditions, spirituality, and medicine in a column called “Good Medicine” for the Keetoowah Journal. An important aspect of Hawk’s spirituality was his commitment to environmentalism and the connectedness of all life
