We Need Your Help!
In March 2007, the Cherokee people voted overwhelmingly to continue our
long-held requirement that all citizens of the Cherokee Nation must
have at least one Cherokee ancestor on the Dawes Rolls. Since then,
those who disagree with this referendum have distorted and
misrepresented the meaning of our decision, Cherokee history, the law,
and the facts.
While the debate over what it means to be a Cherokee citizen continues
in federal and tribal courts, the U.S. Congress, and the media, we
wanted to give you a place on the Web that could help you set the
record straight.
On these sites, you will find facts, history, and updates on all things
related to Cherokee citizenship issues:
• Follow the litigation in federal and tribal courts;
• Monitor punitive anti-Cherokee legislation that would
terminate the Nation and eliminate hundreds of millions of dollars in
federal funding to cut vital health care, housing, and education
services;
• Find real-life stories about what it means to be Cherokee as
told by Cherokees; and
• Add your own voice. Tell Congress how anti-Cherokee
legislation that would terminate the Nation or cut federal funding to
the Cherokee Nation's young, old, and infirm citizens impacts you!
Please encourage your family and friends to visit these sites.
You can also add web stickers
capwiz.com/cherokee/remotecontent/
<http://capwiz.com/cherokee/remotecontent/> to your personal website
to
inform other individuals about this scorched-earth legislation and how
they can help.
Indian Country and its friends are standing with the Cherokee Nation
against the powerful forces that oppose the Cherokee people's right to
be an Indian tribe made of Indians. They realize that an attack like
this on one tribe is an attack against all tribes and that if this can
happen to the Cherokee Nation – the second-largest tribe in the
United
States – it can happen to any tribe.
Every voice counts. Please join us and make yours heard!
Sincerely,
Cherokee Nation
