Special Event Gathering
Wahissa
We are having a gathering at our
tribal land on the weekend of July 9-12. This is a very important
gathering. We will be making an official change over of the
leadership of our tribe. We will be welcoming our new Principal
Chief, our new Assistant Chief and our new state Chief of Georgia
and Satilla River Band. We will also be spreading the ashes of our
fallen brother Robert "Sly Fox" Cox at the request of his Wife Red
Raven.
This is one time we need all the
support we can get from our tribal members. Being as we will not be
going to the Pow Wow in NC I will expect all who had planned to
attend the Pow Wow to make arrangements to be at the Reservation on
these days instead. We have come to a cross roads in our path and it
is time for all members of the tribe to show their pride and show
their commitment to the cause of Gathering all People together in
one Tribe.
We have cut ties with The Nuluti
Equani Ehi tribe in NC. The main reason being that we have been
miss-led by their Chief into the belief that we will be getting
Tribal Government status alone with them. The second reason is that
they have a different agenda from ours, is that they are very
restrictive on who they admit to their tribe. This does not conform
to our cause of the Gathering of all People with Native American
blood into one Tribe. They stated that they have had many complaints
about our tribe and it's practices, when it is the same with me, I
have had many complaints because we were connected with them. If we
are going to make this tribe succeed, Controversy is something that
we don't need right now in our path.

The Fall Gathering at our
Wahissa
There will be a gathering on October 15th. 16th. and 17th. 2010 to awaken
the land to the Spirits of our past and bring them on to the future with our
Tribe. The Land is in Millwood Georgia on Forks Road. It is called
Wahissa, and it is right on the banks of the Satilla River.
We are the Cherokee People and The Creator has given us a path
to follow. We will become strong and prosperous as long as we don't get diverted
from that path.
I hope to see everyone that can make it at the land. This
was a great weekend for our People. Everyone can chose their own camp sites and
help in the clearing their own site. We drilled a well also and cut
a new path down to the river, so everyone could enjoy a fresh dip, or go fishing
if they want. We have sett our Sacred Fire pit and Circle. and
we blessed all the property.
Remember All are welcome, so bring your tent bring your Tee
Pee bring your camper, but most of all bring your yard tools, like chain saws.
shovels, rakes, weed eaters and nippers. We can use all the help we can get to
make this land your home. Remember this is Tribal land and that means it is for
all members to use any time.
