OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
COMMENTARY: Let’s freshen up the U.S. flags on the Boundary
Each morning as I come into work from the Painttown area, I come through downtown Cherokee. Lately, I’ve noticed more and more tattered U.S. flags in downtown and some in other parts of the Qualla Boundary.
COMMENTARY: Why has courtesy become so uncommon?
Patience. It is a virtue indeed. And, like me, I am sure you all could use a good dose of it. Pardon me for being rude, but we have become a society of, if not community of, discourteous people.
COMMENTARY: Financial illiteracy on the Boundary
I was amongst the last groups of EBCI (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians )kids that received their ‘big money’ in one lump sum. I had just graduated high school and was told the best thing to do would be to cash the whole lot and take it to my preferred bank. Talk about a recipe for disaster.
