Central Band of Cherokee and the Cherokee/Jewish Connection?

OK thanks...

I don't understand any of ten skey's posts either.....I live a little over an hour from Lawrenceburg, I've seen this group's "museum" on the town square but didn't go in.....read too much of their website to even want to go in and see what it was all about.  I also don't know about his/her attempt to connect Buford Pusser/Walking Tall to Lawrenceburg....not even close....McNairy county is over 80 miles to the west of this group on US64.  If anyone want me to actually check out their "museum/cultural center" let me know.

Tribal membership in the Central Band of Cherokee is opening to any lineal descendent of the Cherokee inhabitants of the 1806 Congressional Reservation.

These people are full of baloney.  There was a Treaty made with the Cherokee in 1806 by the Federal Government.  
http://digital.library.okstate.edu/kappler/vol2/treaties/che0090.htm

One of many Treaties that was broken, when another one was made.  This was made with the Cherokee Nation, not with individuals.  After land sessions were made one after the other, eventually almost all Cherokees moved out of the ceded territory.   Cherokees were and still are very ethnocentric people.  Those that didn't want to move would have been forced out.

While many of our ancestors were not removed West to Oklahoma during the “Trail of Tears,” a number of Cherokee escaped and were given sanctuary by other Cherokee who resided on the 1806 Congressional Reservation lands.

No one escaped.  The Cherokees were for the most part in charge of their own removal.  There were maybe handfuls that didn’t remove.  They wouldn’t have been given sanctuary by Cherokees though, because virtually all Cherokees were rounded up and removed.  No Cherokees escaped.  The Eastern Band Cherokee’s ancestors are the only Cherokees that stayed on as a cohesive people.  There was a census just before the Trail of Tears.  If someone really does have Cherokee ancestry in Tennessee, then they should at least trace to one of the Rolls or census there. Judging by looking at these groups and their enrollment procedures and fabricated history, I’d say the overwhelming majority of these people are basing their Cherokee heritage on Oral History passed on through their family.  

A number of Cherokee were also able to make their way back immediately after the removals and there are some documented cases of this.  There were extensive Census and Rolls taken even of the ones that stayed behind on the Chapman and Siler Rolls.  
Most reputable genealogist these days will tell you that in most instances these oral stories of Cherokee ancestry were made up stories for a variety of reasons.

Unlike many other tribes, we also use DNA evidence to support applications at the same standard accepted in Federal Court.

This link explains the issue of DNA testing here.
http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=1375.0

While DNA by itself cannot establish that an ancestor was resident on the 1806 Congressional Reservation, a DNA match with another legally established Central Band of Cherokee tribal member could corroborate other documentation provided.

This doesn’t hold much weight.  If one alleged Tribal member is basing his enrollment on oral history or a family bible that says he’s Cherokee, then this would be meaningless in establishing Cherokee heritage for someone else that can connect themselves to them.  

Winfield Scott began rounding up the Cherokee and there were eight forts in Tennessee constructed for this.  Ten internment camps were later constructed in Tennessee. By July of 1838, aside from the Oconaluftee citizen Indians, or the fugitive hiding in the mountains who would later be the ancestors of EB members, virtually all Cherokee were rounded up.  The scattered families that stayed behind would have been listed on the Chapman or Silers roll or another census.  If there really were cases of Cherokees who weren’t documented, nor had parents or grandparents that were documented, then they were extremely rare cases and would not by any stretch of the imagination account for the hordes of people in Tennessee who claim Cherokee heritage.
The majority of the Cherokees that avoided removal later joined up with the Eastern Band.  Actually many Eastern Band members today are descended from these people and can document it.  There is a myth that the Eastern Band is only composed of those who stayed in the NC area after removal when in fact after removal, they were joined up by Cherokee families from other areas such as Tennessee.  For the few that did avoid removal (who would have descendents that can prove it), they were in all likelihood scattered across a large geographical area.  These Cherokees after removal would not have had any significant contact with the other handfuls that avoided removal to form any cohesive group.  The only exception would be for the ones that jointed up with the Cherokees that would later be called the Eastern Band.  I know of some isolated cases of people who actually can trace to some of the other rolls and census of Cherokees that were still in the East.  I wouldn’t have a problem with these people forming a heritage group as Cherokee descendents, and I don’t have a problem with these people celebrating their heritage. But all the evidence shows that these are not the people we are talking about.
   
The problem is that the hordes of people in Tennessee who claim Cherokee heritage don’t have a drop of Cherokee blood in them, but on the contrary, are in fact the descendents of the MOBS OF WHITE INTRUDERS who invaded and colonized the Cherokee homeland in the South East. First the land and resources were taken, now these people’s very descendents are stealing one of the last things that theCherokee people have left, and that is Cherokee identity

The Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs Larry Echo hawk issues a proposed finding against acknowledgement of the Central Band of Cherokee, Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.  Some keys things stand out in the decision.

http://www.bia.gov/WhoWeAre/AS-IA/OFA/RecentCases/index.htm

"The evidence shows the petitioner is a voluntary association formed in 2000 of individuals who claim but have not documented Indian ancestry. There is no evidence that Petitioner #227 existed under any name prior to its emergence in 2000 as the “Cherokees of Lawrence County, TN, Sugar Creek Band of the Southeastern Cherokee Confederacy, Inc."

"The petitioner claims its members are descendants of Cherokee Indians who had not given up their rights to 1806 treaty lands in Tennessee, or are descendants of Indians living in Tennessee who evaded removal or escaped when the Cherokee were removed from North Carolina in the late 1830s. None of the evidence demonstrates the validity of either claim".

"The petitioner’s self-generated family histories and descent reports that attribute Cherokee ancestry to some of its ancestors are not supported by the evidence".

"OFA investigated CBC’s claims, located public records to verify members’ ancestors, and examined rolls of early eastern Cherokee Indians. The readily available public records clearly showed the petitioner’s members do not descend from any Cherokee group or any other Indian tribe. The evidence clearly shows the group’s ancestors were consistently identified as non-Indians, primarily “White” settlers coming to Tennessee in the early and mid-1800s from disparate locations. At no time were they identified as Indians or living in an Indian community".

Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs Echo Hawk Issues a Proposed Finding against Acknowledgment of the Central Band of Cherokee, Lawrenceburg, Tennessee

Washington -- Assistant Secretary–Indian Affairs Larry Echo Hawk on August 6, 2010, issued a proposed finding not to acknowledge the petitioner known as the Central Band of Cherokee (CBC) (Petitioner #227) as an Indian tribe. The petitioner, located in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, has approximately 407 members. The evidence shows the petitioner is a voluntary association formed in 2000 of individuals who claim but have not documented Indian ancestry. There is no evidence that Petitioner #227 existed under any name prior to its emergence in 2000 as the “Cherokees of Lawrence County, TN, Sugar Creek Band of the Southeastern Cherokee Confederacy, Inc.” Under the regulations, the Department may not acknowledge associations, organizations, corporations, or groups of any character formed in recent times.

The petitioner claims its members are descendants of Cherokee Indians who had not given up their rights to 1806 treaty lands in Tennessee, or are descendants of Indians living in Tennessee who evaded removal or escaped when the Cherokee were removed from North Carolina in the late 1830s. None of the evidence demonstrates the validity of either claim.

The Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA) evaluated the group’s petition under 83.10 e) of the acknowledgment regulations, which allows for issuing a proposed finding under criterion 83.7(e) only. To meet criterion 83.7(e), the petitioner must demonstrate descent from a historical Indian tribe or tribes that combined and functioned as a single entity. The petitioner’s self-generated family histories and descent reports that attribute Cherokee ancestry to some of its ancestors are not supported by the evidence. The recent decision of the Tennessee Commission on Indian Affairs to grant state recognition to the CBC does not provide evidence of Indian descent.

OFA investigated CBC’s claims, located public records to verify members’ ancestors, and examined rolls of early eastern Cherokee Indians. The readily available public records clearly showed the petitioner’s members do not descend from any Cherokee group or any other Indian tribe. The evidence clearly shows the group’s ancestors were consistently identified as non-Indians, primarily “White” settlers coming to Tennessee in the early and mid-1800s from disparate locations. At no time were they identified as Indians or living in an Indian community.

The petitioner clearly does not meet criterion 83.7(e), which satisfies the requirement for issuing a proposed finding under 83.10(e). If, in the response to the proposed finding, the petitioner provides sufficient evidence that it meets criterion 83.7(e) under the reasonable likelihood standard, then the Department will undertake a review of the petition under all seven mandatory criteria. If, in the response, the petitioner does not provide sufficient evidence that it meets criterion 83.7(e) under that standard, then the Assistant Secretary will issue a final determination based upon criterion 83.7(e) only.

The Department will publish notice of this proposed finding in the Federal Register. The regulations provide that the petitioner or any party will have 180 days after the publication of the notice to submit comments to rebut or support the proposed finding before the Department issues a final determination. After the comment period, the petitioner will have an additional 60 days to respond to the comments from third parties. Following the response period, the Department will begin work on a final determination.

The Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs has responsibility for fulfilling the Interior Department’s trust responsibilities and promoting self-determination on behalf of the 564 federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribal governments. The Assistant Secretary also oversees the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which is responsible for providing services to the tribes and their members, approximately 1.9 million individual American Indians and Alaska Natives, and OFA, which administers the Federal acknowledgment  process".
