A longstanding dispute over who can be considered a citizen of the Cherokee Nation finally came to a conclusion this week.
The Cherokee Nation Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the tribal nation remove the phrase"by blood" from its constitution and other tribal laws. That change formally acknowledges that the descendants of Black people once enslaved by the tribe -- known as the Cherokee Freedmen -- have the right to tribal citizenship, which means they are eligible to run for tribal office and access resources such as tribal health care.
ChoctawFreedmen So... am I to assume by the emphasis on 'Black' that the Indentured Slaves of European Origin are specifically excluded from enrollment? Wasn't there a really famous one that was assigned to Reverend Peter Folsom and written into the Choctaw Constitution? What was his name again?
CherneyAmharaTV The fight & plight of the Cherokee Freedman is over. This is some exciting news. I am proud of the Cherokee Supreme Court for FINALLY doing the right thing.
Better hope they don’t Sioux.
The 1/64 Cherokee in my ancestry heartily approves of this. As does the rest of me.
