Reclaiming Our Cherokee Culture...Again!!
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, are requesting the President of the United States, The Senate and House of Representatives, and the Judiciary of the United States of America, along with the support of the public in defending the rights of non-reservation Cherokee descendants. We acknowledge that many persons today, who are descendants of American Indian people who were residing within the borders of the original thirteen colonies, upon first contact, rather enslaved or free Indians, ancestors were also labeled negro, colored, mulatto, and black, as were Africans, by the institution of colonization in an act to perpetuate the assimilation of our ancestors into a non-white class of American society.
Now, as law abiding citizens of the United States of America, autonomous Cherokee tribes, and Class IV Cherokees, we solicit protection against the infringements of our right to assemble, govern ourselves, raise awareness, promote, and organize as people of Cherokee descent. We ask that all actions made by any Governmental agency Federal, State, or Tribal with the intent to interfere and hinder our path-way of life as Cherokee descendants to cease and be relinquished.
Finally, we believe it is the will of the Creator to honor and celebrate The Great Spirit, our ancestors, elders, families, children, future generations, and earth mother through the public and private sharing of our distinct historical, cultural, and traditional values as Cherokees or, as we call ourselves, ani-yun-wi-ya (Principal People).
With both the Creator and your help..."We Can"
Please sign the petition.

I'm from the A NI KA WI or Deer Clan. Proud to be Cherokee. Nobody is going to change that. Let us be who we are as we let other skins (black, white and yellow) be who they are.

This petition is not just for what is right for those with Cherokee and "slave" blood, but for any Cherokees with mixed blood. Just because we are mixed-blood does not mean we are any less Cherokee than those who are full-blooded!
