COMMENTARY: Tiptoeing through banishments

They talked about how hard it would be to banish a tribal member because, in our Cherokee Code, it has been made clear that any tribal member permanently banished by Tribal Council will also be disenrolled. Some have stated that they “just couldn’t bring themselves to remove someone from membership in the Tribe.”
