Faith Commentary: Appointing your days
Psalms 90:12 says, “So teach us to number our days, That we may get us a heart of wisdom.”
COMMENTARY: We know who we are
Cherokee has a long, detailed historical record. We have been blessed with tenacious record-keeping by our ancestors, the creation of the syllabary by Sequoyah, the continued passing of knowledge, culture and language through generations.
COMMENTARY: Commitment to family
We are not a casino town. Ask anyone whose heart and soul are in this land and they will tell you quickly that this land, if it is to be called anything, if it should be defined by anything, that should be its connection to the Principal People.
