Cherokees Taking A Stand
« on: August 07, 2009, 08:03:29 pm »
This is great, the three Cherokee Tribes are taking a stand against all the fraudulant Cherokee groups... and have issued a Task Force...

http://taskforce.cherokee.org/

"Welcome To taskforce.cherokee.org
Cherokee Nation (Fraudulent Indian) Task Force

A battle for what it means to be an Indian tribe and a struggle for benefits provided to Indians is currently being waged by groups seeking to take away the identity and benefits that have been reserved to federally recognized Indian tribes. Hundreds of false Indian groups are claiming to be sovereign tribes and are teaching their own fabricated culture and history as if it were Indian. They apply for and receive aid from the same sources that fund the historic treaty based obligations intended for Indians. Yet they do not measure up to the credentials required of true tribes."

Yes! I have been jumping up and down with pure joy since this news came out! I hope that ALL REAL tribes take notice and start their own task force against those who are trying to steal their names and identities!!
