"Do this today so the children can do
for themselves tomorrow."
The Banner Lies, "The Cherokee Nation Is Still in the state of
suspension as a governing entity, by the Curtis Act (Act of June 28,
1898), ch. 517, 30 Stat. 495. Section 28 of the Curtis Act provided
that on July 1, 1898, "all tribal courts in Indian Territory shall be
abolished, of course it could be said what Smith always claims "the
Cherokee Nation is in full force and effect" and by the Congressional
act he always mentions, and is actually a fact of the matter which is,
the 1906 Five Tribes Restoration Act Which States: "The tribal
governments are hereby extended indefinitely by Joint Resolution No. 7
of March 2, 1906, 34 Stat. 822, and by Section 28 of the Five Tribes
Act of April 26, 1906, ch. 1876, 34 Stat. 148", and with out a jucicial
system which makes for a complete government...
The Creeks were the first to face this problem in harjo V Kleppe, 420
F. Supp. 1110, 1118-1131 (D.D.C. 1976), aff'd 581 F.2d 949 (D.C. Cir.
1978), the court held that the Five Tribes Act of 1906 continued the
executive and legislative authority of the Creek government under the
Creek constitution of 1867, however, neither the Five Tribes Act of
1906 nor the Harjo decision revived the Creek tribal court system. If
this is so for the Creek in federal Court, you can dang well be assured
it is so for the Cherokee Nation as well who have not been to any court
to date, nor been allowed as a special entity to restore their court
system. The CNO court is a lie. And the ONLY means to have the Cherokee
Nation to be an Active viable Government of the Cherokee people, would
have been to have reorganized under the (OIWA) Oklahoma Indian Welfare
Act, which they did not, nor have they done to this date.
Then to Imply that the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is the Cherokee
Nation is the big Lie, by the part of the banner that says this is the
56th Cherokee National Holiday implying the CNO is the Cherokee Nation.
If the Cherokee Nation were revived and reorganized as the CNO which
they could do, then, all would not be a big lie.
But as it is, and what the CNO is, the
banner should look like this, and it should say this is the 32nd CNOT
Holiday:
