OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: A supporter of renaming EBCI
I agree that the name ‘Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ (EBCI) doesn’t seem to fit quite right. It’s a thought I’ve had before, and I find the conversation interesting.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: Each person has a purpose…
When God got hold of Paul, everything changed and turned around. Pastor Tim said, “I don’t want to hear from anyone, ‘I’ve gone too far.’ ‘I’ve seen too much.’ ‘I’ve been into too much,’ and ‘Pastor, you don’t know what I’ve done.’
COMMENTARY: The community wants your best.
At our next tribal election, you will be making a decision that will affect how we are governed. You might say that we do that every election and to a certain extent, you would be right. Deciding who will sit in the seats of power is a decision that has lasting impact on our community.
