Osiyo Citizens of the Northern Cherokee Nation,
Today was the first council meeting of our new year and I want to thank each and every one who made the effort to attend. Many of you like the Chief, Deputy Chief and most of the council drive between 31/2 and 5 hours to attend our meetings, they come from all four corners of Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas , Oklahoma. It was great seeing our family. We even had a photographer from the L.A. Times.
My question to you is WHERE WERE THE REST OF THE NORTHERN CHEROKEE CITIZENS? I know that we have close to 10000 enrolled that live in Missouri alone! We all have lives and families, but what do you consider your NCN family? Are we not important enough to take one Saturday a month and join your tribal family? Do you not want your children to know where they come from? Are you ashamed to let your neighbors and co-workers know your Cherokee? Think about why you joined the Tribe, was it because a family member signed you up? Do you think your going to get something from the white government? Or are you afraid you might have to contribute some time or heaven forbid money to your tribe? Think about this!
We have citizens that live in other states that call, donate and keep in touch. WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE, Is it because you remember the horror stories from your great grandparents that is was illegal to be an Indian in Missouri, WELL GET OVER IT THIS IS 2019. CHEROKEE UP PEOPLE!
This letter is for all our citizens, not just Missouri. Because you live in another state You are not exempt!
We are a proud people, but it takes EVERYONE EVERYWHERE to make a family!
May Creator keep us all safe.
Busy Red Bird.
