Cherokee Indians: We are free to oust blacks

OKLAHOMA CITY — The nation's second-largest Indian tribe said on Tuesday that it would not be dictated to by the U.S. government over its move to banish 2,800 African Americans from its citizenship rolls.


"The Cherokee Nation will not be governed by the BIA," Joe Crittenden, the tribe's acting principal chief, said in a statement responding to the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Crittenden, who leads the tribe until a new principal chief is elected, went on to complain about unnamed congressmen meddling in the tribe's self-governance.

The reaction follows a letter the tribe received on Monday from BIA Assistant Secretary Larry Echo Hawk, who warned that the results of the September 24 Cherokee election for principal chief will not be recognized by the U.S. government if the ousted members, known to some as "Cherokee Freedmen," are not allowed to vote.

The dispute stems from the fact that some wealthy Cherokee owned black slaves who worked on their plantations in the South. By the 1830s, most of the tribe was forced to relocate to present-day Oklahoma, and many took their slaves with them. The so-called Freedmen are descendants of those slaves.

After the Civil War, in which the Cherokee fought for the South, a treaty was signed in 1866 guaranteeing tribal citizenship for the freed slaves.

The U.S. government said that the 1866 treaty between the Cherokee tribe and the U.S. government guaranteed that the slaves were tribal citizens, whether or not they had a Cherokee blood relation.


The African Americans lost their citizenship last month when the Cherokee Supreme Court voted to support the right of tribal members to change the tribe's constitution on citizenship matters.

The change meant that Cherokee Freedmen who could not prove they have a Cherokee blood relation were no longer citizens, making them ineligible to vote in tribal elections or receive benefits.

I'm not sure I have any commentary to add on this matter.
I'm just enjoying the thought of members of the media twisting themselves into knots trying to figure out how to write an impartial story about two opposed minority groups, slavery, and a government which has exceeded its authority in two different centuries, all without being able to blame the modern white male for any of it.

Note to white people on what to expect when they are the minority.

Ah, but that assumes that the media will actually cover the story in any significant way, after all, it hardly fits the standard narrative to have one "victim group" lay siege to another.

The most likely way this tidbit will be spun into multiculturalist gold is to blame the white Southern Confederates for "infecting" the noble Cherokee with their racist virus, in much the same way that Thomas Sowell lay the failure of blacks in America at the feet of Southern "redneck culture."

I'm glad the Cherokee have done this and I hope they will be allowed to continue to do it. It would be great if Whites could gain enough solidarity to do something like this.

Good for the Cherokee. These Negroes had no Cherokee blood. They were just slaves of the Cherokee.

In Canada the Mohawk nation has talked about racial purity and wanting the tribe to have purer Native Canadian ancestry. The chief openly stated that non-natives should lose their subsidized housing and any other benefits. It was big news in Canada for a few days. But because natives are a special downtrodden group the criticism was minimal from the loonie left.....:thumbdown:

Good for the Cherokee. they were large scale slave owners in the old south and they fought for the CSA.

I've seen n's straight outa Harlem wearing feathers on their head in Connecticut announcing they were indians and getting tribal benefits and opening up gambling casinos on their "rez", just fronting for the Mafia and the politicians (same thing), of course, but everybody is afraid to say, WTF?

Almost every black in Oklahoma claims to have Indian blood. It's a badge of honor because it means they have "good hair", not to mention all the freebies. Hell, blacks will claim to be Chinese, Jewish or retarded if it meant they would get a check.

Good points!

Here is the city of Ledyard Connecticut swapping land with the Pequot tribe. Notice the Indians look like your average obese rapper from an MTV video. I didn't see one guy that looked like Chief from One Flew Over the Cukoo's nest.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9k_o9f5GJs Well at least these two look like full blooded Native Americans.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbbuAa5HC3o&feature=related....

I remember writing a paper about the pequots in college. Although I wondered about it then, I didn't realize they had so many darkies in their midst today. Their claims to federally recognized status were tenuous because literally just a handful of them had enough pequot in them to be considered pequots. Most of them had mixed with other tribes long before. Looks like they've expanded their "recruiting base" into the New England ghettos.

 

[white is right]

It looks like any "Chinky eyed" Black who can trace some remote Native American ancestry is jumping aboard the gravy train. If I was the mayor of Ledyard I would have wondered out loud why I gave away my land to guys who looked like they were from the Wutang Clan.......:thumbdown:

Well stated indeed icsept!

Jaxvid, good point above as well. At the (forthcoming) time us Whites are the minority (in this Republic that WE founded & made great), it'll be open season on us via the "majority" untermenschen..and the PTB controlled government puppets will allow it.

[h=2]Cherokee Indians: We are free to oust blacks[/h]Good, does that mean we are now free to oust the Cherokee Indians from the cocoon of cradle to grave benefits heaped upon them by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, when can the White taxpayer be free of native american welfare recipients?

That's not happening because I suspect the chiefs are as corrupt as they are in Canada and siphon off the money for SUV's and McManasions, while the rest of their band members live in huts. It's unbelievable the corruption on reserves where there is money from oil revenue or gambling.
