The 1839 Constitution of the Cherokee is a document that is for all practical purposes and facts of law still "in full force and effect", as the weezle likes to say of CNOT, in regards to the status of CNOT with respect to a sovereign entity.

Check out this page from a study Swimmer had done to see what he could and could NOT do as the head of the sovereign less entity he had created, please note the last paragraph on the page, it is all telling of what CNOT is and is not. That phrase is the theme of the up-coming Cherokee holiday, the hypocritical celebration of the signing of the Constitution of the Cherokee in 1839, while they act under the cover of the CNOT-REICH of 75/76 to the present, as done by Swimmer in his own words as I keep posting, and you can see HERE coz I don't think all truths of the matter can be said too many times.

And folks the hippocracy is in the fact of the statement of the theme taken from the act or 1906 that says the 5 tribes are in full force and effect, BUT, yes there was a big-o but, for all practical purposes the act was only that an act, which for all practical purposes said there were tribes but the BIA oversaw everything from 1906 to 1970, In 1970, there was a Law enacted entitled Principal Chiefs Act, which is Pub. L. 91-495, 84 Stat. 1091, it has been cited in several cases and it imposes the law that an entity of Indians unless reorganized under the Oklahoma Indian Welfare Act of 1935 they are not a sovereign entity and may only promulgate a set of rules for selecting a Chief absolutely nothing about a Constitution, actually David explains it much better than me in this piece I have posted numerous times also.

Now another item that I think is most essential in the process of learning and understanding the truth about CNOT and what it is, and that is THIS STUDY by an attorney as to the legalities of what CNOT is and aint, it is all pretty plainly written so you can get the gist, and a little research will confirm what it all means for ya. And careful reading of this Outlander will reiterate what I have said, what David has said, what the LAW says, and how CNOT is impacted, and why they have to continually try to feed the people the BS they are the Cherokee Nation, by all the crap that is pumped out to you outlanders in the CNOT rag called the Advocate...

Then in answer to the quandary do the people really understand what I am saying? I think they do, but as you, many can't seem to get past the fact CNOT is NOT the Cherokee Nation, all because CNOT has said they are for the past 30 years, while the revised Crap of 99 proclaims they are, the question is, how can a revise pile of illegal crap proclaim what the 75 never did? STUPID BS folks plain and simple, designed to further dupe the Cherokee People.

Now for the question, But how do we do it? Answer it is simple, the United Cherokee Nation has already done it, we only need the Cherokee People to believe they can do it, accept it, and simply stand up and demand the reins to their Government. And we did it on the authority of the Cherokee Peoples sovereign right to do this as explained by David Cornsilk.

The following is what I mean and what we did, and people it does not have to be us, as we have set it up. It could be any group of people committed to leading the Cherokee out of the mess we are in. "We proved it could be done". and if you will study the situation, the Cherokee People have auto tags today because of what we did, Oklahoma would not let CNOT issue tags, until we showed them Oklahoma ain't got a dam thing to say about Real Indians issuing Auto Tags and finally did let CNOT issue them ONLY with a compact that garnered them most of the profit!!

A group of Cherokee got together, signed a declaration stating the Cherokee Government revived under the terms of the 1839Constitution. Called for, and held a Constitutional convention April 15th 2000, at which time Officials, and committee members were elected, from among the Cherokee members present as the 1839 Cherokee Nation. And business was conducted for the people the old Cherokee Nation Seal was revived and now appears on all of the UNC documents, 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 United Cherokee Nation, and CNO or UKB if they wanted one, again to generate funds for the people's cause. We passed a RESOLUTION undoing the travesty of injustice by Ross Swimmer to the Descendants of the Freedmen.

The Chief of the Cherokee Nation OF OKLAHOMA Chad Smith, 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, he saw fit to take action against, his supposed people, which are the Cherokee People, in a District court of the state of Oklahoma.

This matter is between a group of Cherokee, which 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, a court that has absolutely no jurisdiction in Indian Matters, by the Chief of CNO Chad Smith, who is a Lawyer and knows better, but knew he had the Cherokee County state court in his pocket and the law and justice department of CNO, Acted against their own Cherokee People who were acting as a agents of the Cherokee People people, for the people, as the 1839 Cherokee Nation, not as the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, as they alleged in the suit.

At this point I believe a federal law should be cited, that you appear to be quite familiar with Outlander, 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 Osage County, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals recognizes; that Oklahoma had not acted to assume jurisdiction and, therefore, did not have criminal jurisdiction within Indian country.

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 (UCN) 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 needs be appointed and a citizenship drive commenced. All Cherokee should contact the UCN at anytime, for instruction on obtaining their gold UCN citizenship cards, and make a commitment to the Cherokee people. Or get a Group of committed Cherokee together and do over what we did, it is doable folks.

Folks here is a simple reminder and a actual fact of the matter, what we Cherokee People did back in 2000 with this action, and the production and sale of Auto tags, is the reason the Cherokee People have Quasi Cherokee Auto Tags, we did this for a year sold quite a few, this one in this picture is mine, I drove my vehicle all over the United states with it, Pow-Wowing. For Years while Tribes all around us had Tags, even the Keetoowah, Oklahoma would NOT let CNOT get into the car tag Business, simply because a corporate entity like CNOT would be like the Tulsa Country club issuing Tags.

With this Action we Demonstrated Oklahoma ain't got a dam thing to say about Sovereign Indians issuing auto Tags and driving all over the country with them... The Supreme Court set that as law in the Sac and Fox V. Ok tax comm. After we Showed them what Indians could do Oklahoma decided they better let CNOT show a little more authority, so they drew up a compact where Oklahoma gets most of the profit, the Cherokee People Have Oklahoma vanity Plates, and most people actually think they got Cherokee Plates, PURE absolute BS People!! They are Nothing but Oklahoma Plates that they allow CNOT to paste Cherokee Nation on them, Oklahoma Is still emblazoned across the bottom, and the weezle got his own too, And as you can see on my Tag above, Oklahoma is no where on it only a little-bity decal in the lower right hand corner to denote we are located in Oklahoma!!

So folks I don't see how it could be put any plainer and simpler, the Cherokee People have an ABSOLUTE right to govern ourselves, by we the Cherokee People, of we the Cherokee People and for we the Cherokee People, it is all done and laid out, all we need to do is act in mass as a body of people politic and proclaim it so!!
