US TRIES TO TERMINATE CHEROKEE NATION - WITHOUT THEIR SAY!
Here's What's In Store For Hawaiians If Akaka Bill Passes
A bill has been introduced into the US Congress to terminate its relationship with the Cherokee Nation.
H.R. 2824, introduced June 21, 2007 by Congresswoman Diane Watson, would "sever the United States' government relations with the Cherokee Nation."
The tribe's recent constitutional amendment to limit citizenship to those who descend from Indians listed on the U.S. census of 1906 known as the Dawes Roll was deemed unacceptable by the Feds.
Terminating the treaty would mean ending financial support from Washington, leaving the Cherokee a land-locked people with little to no support, having negotiated their rights aways years ago in exchange for US federal recognition.
