Osiyo
Brothers and
Sisters,
As you know we have
the remains returned
to us-we will be
reinturring them on
April 5th at 2pm at
my families cemetery
in Reed, Ky.
There are four of
our Chiefs already
buried there.
If anyone wished to
attend you are more
than welcome-it is a
very sacred event.
If you wish to bring
items to put in the
burial -cedar,
tobacco or beadwork
or anything sacred
to you to send with
our beloved
ancestors.
These offerings will
be welcome.
Eagle, Owl, and Hawk
feathers will be
offered also.
Part of the states
request was that
they be placed in a
perpitual graveyard.
There are seven
individuals that
will be placed in
one communal grave.
If you cannot attend
you may send
whatever you would
like to have
interred and we will
make sure that your
wishes are carried
out.
We
would also like to
let you know all of
the documents that
goes to the BIA have
been sent to our
court clerk (Sunhawk
Woman) to record
them and she will
send them onto the
BIA for
registration.
I must let you know
we are under the
EYES of the BIA-we
must behave
ourselves as the
true Cherokee People
we are, Make
no mistake their
EYES are upon us
all. I am sure
the Government will
have many more hoops
for us to jump
through and we must
follow their rules
and we will do so.
There are roughly
1150 of us.
Let us all stand as
one, One Nation
under the Creator.
I believe we will
accomplish all of
our goals.
Again you can reach
us at #270-546-2868
or our e-mail is
manfoxscn@yahoo.com
.
As you may not know
two Bills have
passed the House of
Reps
concerning State
Recognition.
They will now go
before the Kentucky
Senate, hopefully
they will pass the
Senate, then the
Bills will go before
our governor.
Please let the
Kentucky Senate and
the Governor hear
from all of us.
The old saying is
the squeaky wheel
gets the grease.
Smoke and Prayers,
Chief Manfox
