!!REVIVAL OF A NATION!!

A group of Cherokee got together, signed a declaration stating the Cherokee Government revived under the terms of the 1839 Constitution. Called for and held a Constitutional convention April 15th 2000, at which time, offensive language with respect to race and gender was removed: Thusly bringing the document into the present!! Officials, and committee members were elected, from among the Cherokee members present. As the 1839 Cherokee Nation..

And conducted business for the people, a silver coin was issued as official Cherokee currency, of course there is Not an exchange rate. So they were being sold as commemorative coins to raise funds for the people's cause.

And by the authority of the governing document, which grants sovereign authority to the Governing board by the people, and under the sanctions of the supreme court of the U.S. ruling in the case of the Okla. Tax Comm. vs The Sac and Fox tribe, auto tags were produced and sold to members of the Cherokee Nation, again to generate funds for the people.

The Chief of the Cherokee Nation OF OKLAHOMA, Saw that we were serious and were actually helping our people, saving them money on the tags, and were getting ready to launch other programs to help the needy Cherokee people, saw fit to take action against, his supposed people, the Cherokee. in a District court of the state of Oklahoma.

This matter is between a group of Cherokee, that are convinced the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma (CNO) is an illegal entity, and the administration of CNO who have usurped the power of the Cherokee people, with a fraudulent document they call a Constitution, since 1975.

A suit was filed in an Oklahoma district court by the Chief of CNO and the law and justice department of same. Against Cherokee acting as a agents of the people, for the people, as the 1839 Cherokee Nation, not Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.

At this point I believe a federal law should be cited, it is,

Public Law 83-280. This federal statute granted certain states criminal and civil jurisdiction in all or specified parts of Indian country within the states listed, and provided a mechanism whereby other states could assume criminal jurisdiction over Indian country. However, Oklahoma was not one of the states granted Indian country jurisdiction and did not act to assume jurisdiction under Public Law 83-280. In a case arising out of Usage County, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals recognize; that Oklahoma had not acted to assume jurisdiction and, therefore, did not have criminal jurisdiction within Indian country.
This matter is today on appeal to the Oklahoma supreme court, ruling expected anytime.

Due to actions of this court and some of its rulings, the 1839 Cherokee Nation governing board voted to change the name to United Cherokee Nation and was voted so in 2001.

In April 2002, The Governing board call a meeting, and the United Cherokee nation was restructured, as is called for in the 1839 constitution of the Cherokee, there is now a seated governing body which are the Principal Chief, Deputy Principal Chief, a bicameral legislature and a executive council. A director of the citizenship committee will be appointed soon and citizenship drive will commence. All Cherokee could be contacted at anytime, with instruction for obtaining their gold UCN citizenship cards.
