OPINIONS ᏃᎵᏍᎬᎢ
EDITORIAL: Will the Constitution survive the political cycle?
The community should craft the governing document for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Certainly, the community will want legal guidance for the process. That is just a reality of our times. We have become a society of vague language, with multiple meanings and motives attached to the words we write.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: Where does love fit?
Our culture is against us. Satan’s plan of deception is pervasive.
COMMENTARY: Tsalagi Minute signs would provide education around town
Several years ago, the One Feather started a weekly informational graphic we call the Tsalagi Minute. I think it would be neat to see Tsalagi Minute signs made, featuring some of these graphics, that could be placed around the Qualla Boundary – most specifically in and around downtown Cherokee and the cultural district.
