COMMENTARY: Hey Facebook, quit deleting photos of Natives

Last evening, I uploaded a photo I took of men of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) playing stickball during the Annual Kituwah Celebration in June.  That photo was almost immediately deleted by Facebook stating it went against their community standards on “nudity or sexual activity”. 

COMMENTARY: Which public is the public?

We need to figure out, as a tribe, how we want to disseminate information to our community. As you know, there is an incredible amount of information that is relevant to our community discussed in the Tribal Council sessions.

SPEAKING OF FAITH: Sanctification

Opening my bible, I flip it and it just goes right where it’s supposed to. I don’t know how many times it opens to the right chapter and the right verse and just falls open in my hand. 

COMMENTARY: Turn your radio on.

The tribe needs a radio station. Many think that AM and FM radio are antiquated, a thing of the past that has outlived its purpose. In a world where information is increasingly a pay-to-access proposition, AM/FM radio broadcasts remain available to anyone with a receiver. In vehicles, it may be the only immediate access to emergency information there is.
