4. Does the same thing apply to my family members if they want to join.
Yes. All need to be adopted with separate applications and pictures. We keep records of all members, pictures, and other important information in the membership files.
5. Do you have a list of all the benefits of being part of the United Cherokee Nation of Indians – Aniyvwiya? Are they the same rights that fall under the Federal Native American rights?
The short answer is “NO”.
We are not federalized and do not intend to become federalized. The natives of this country created the federal government with the 13 colonial states, not the other way around. We will not reduce our sovereignty to the nonsense of the federal government for any reason. The Cherokees are not a commercial enterprise like the fictional government of the all capitals “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”, who are completely bankrupt (HJR 192, year 1933). The Act of Federalization removes a tribe’s right of self determination.
