Attention!!!!!
Northern Cherokee Nation Citizens.
I am hoping by now you have read the 2 letters posted on Facebook and the website. Are you going to allow this type of discrimination to continue? Are we going keep our head tucked in our shoulders just like a turtle? Are we going to deny who we are and what we are? Are you ashamed of your Northern Cherokee Heritage?
Now is the time to stand together as a nation and stop allowing others to tell us who we are!!!!
As many of our tribal citizens are doing we need to speak up and let those that discriminate against us (like the Missouri Archaeological Society, Inc. has done in the photo) know what and how we think about it. We as Proud Northern Cherokee citizens will not allow this to continue.
Here is a quote from one of our citizens and it sums it up very nicely.
Who are you to say I’m not Cherokee enough? Who are you to say I don’t have the right papers? Who are you to say my tribe isn’t real because the government says we aren’t? Who are you to say I can’t practice and celebrate my culture? I celebrate my culture and practice those traditions because it is my right. I do so because my great-grandmother was scared to, because my grandfather was ashamed to, and because my mother wasn’t allowed to. I do not need your approval.
Tell them how you feel.
