It has been reported that activist and former candidate for the highest office in the state, Carl "Two Feathers" Whitaker has filed suit against Dollywood theme park for $5.5 million.

Whitaker, who sometimes acts as a spokesman for Native Americans and Cherokees in Tennessee, says he was racially harassed by a co-worker while he worked as a games attendant at Dollywood last year.
