On the “Northern Cherokee Nation” powwow April 13 - 15, 2007 at Mulberry, Arkansas:
The “Northern Cherokee Nation of Arkansas and Missouri ”, based in Missouri, is not a state or federally recognized “tribe“. Nor is it accepted as a genuine Cherokee group (or as American Indian) by any of the three legitimate Cherokee tribes. The “Northern Cherokee of Arkansas and Missouri ” like many other groups in Arkansas and Missouri, was founded by non-Indians who have fabricated their own American Indian history, cultures, and traditions. There are well over 200 groups alone that call themselves some type of Cherokee “tribe” or “nation” - even two that are located in Alaska! In addition, this non-profit corporation was terminated for administrative reasons by the State of Missouri on 12/29/06 and cannot legally conduct activities other than to liquidate assets and finish business at hand. According to the Arkansas Department of Commerce the “Northern Cherokee“ cannot legally conduct business in the State because of this termination.
Shame on any legitimate Indians who support this bogus group with their participation.
