Small business stores and department stores still use layaway plans.

Thank you for your excellent commentary about the Cherokee Constitution in last week’s One Feather.  I moved to Cherokee in 1978 and, shortly thereafter, became involved with the writing of a constitution while working at Legal Services

I am taking the opportunity to continue my life’s work to build our community and serve our Cherokee citizens.  On Jan. 9, I resigned from my position to pursue this exciting chapter of continued service to you and this sacred community.  

The way we count ourselves as Cherokee on the Qualla Boundary is a path to extinction.

Starting this week, I’m going to start a weekly column where I’ll highlight a person, group, or program that embodies the spirit of “The Good Stuff”, and I’m starting with Onita Bush who is always happy, always smiling, and always sharing knowledge. 

There is already an established, evidence-based process for a group to become Federally recognized as a ‘tribe”.

How many famous Christians have you been shocked to learn fell into infamous sin?

As we find ourselves in the heart of flu season, Cherokee Indian Hospital is seeing an increase in patients testing positive for respiratory illnesses, including the flu, COVID-19, and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). This surge serves as an important reminder to all of us to remain vigilant about protecting our health and the health of our community.
