TRIBAL CITIZENS MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE
|
|
|
Several tribal citizens recently gathered at the Northern Cherokee Nation's headquarters to tackle the task of installing a new garage door. Many Wados to Daniel White Crow and Tony Running Wolf for donating all the materials, labor, and time for this project. With the new door, there will be no more drafts and foaming great stuff, also known as insulation, in all the cracks around the old door. A special appreciation from the Chief, Busy Red Bird, and Buffalo Sister who spend the most time at the tribal headquarters.

Osiyo Tribal Family,
This is one of these letters I hate to write, but it must be done.
This has been a very hard year for us all. We have lost loved ones, family and friends, COVID doesn’t care. Our political leaders are in a state, gas going up, taxes going up, groceries yikes, health care going up!
All of us are feeling the pinch, and its not even winter!
We have over 11,000 citizens that are still breathing and we need your help to get through the next year! I'm requesting that each one of you commit to $ 25.00 a month or more if you can. Anything you can do will be appreciated. We thank those of you who have faithfully supported your tribe.
My dream is to have the headquarters paid off in 2yrs, we only owe $11,000. I know many of you live far away and have never seen your tribal headquarters only through pictures we post, so you have no idea of the work that is needed for the upkeep of the building and grounds. It’s just like your own home; something is always needing fixed or replaced.
I am planning on retiring from trucking after many years, so Mrs. Chief can remember who I am. She has a honey-do list for me waiting. I will also be able to spend more time at tribal headquarters.
Remember everyone who works for you at headquarters is a volunteer and receives no money just my heart felt wados. They are what keeps us going.
As a 501(c)3 NOT FOR PROFIT, we do not get any state or federal monies,
I am asking you to please help us reach our goal. SEND IN YOUR DONATION NOW!
We have PAYPAL button on this website to make things easier. We still take checks. Mail them to:
NCN
P.O. Box 413
Cuba, MO 65453
ALSO REMEMBER TO UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION. WE WILL GLADLY MAIL YOU AN UPDATE FORM JUST CALL BUFFALO SISTER AT 660-885-7779.
May Creator watch over us all and keep us safe.
