URGENT!!
IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED!!
If you are a Tribal member, or know of a Tribal member, that has moved within the last 12 months and have not sent me your new address I need for you to do so immediately. If your email address has changed I need it also. I get 8-10 letters returned for no forwarding address counting postage, pare, envelopes and paper that adds up to about $.50 per letter. I also need updates on email addresses. Several weeks ago I sent a letter describing the opportunity that we have to join with Mantle Rock Cultural and Educational Center in developing something that would be of great benefit not only to our Tribe but to help educate others about our culture and traditions. I am very disappointed in the lack of response I have received. Thus far I have had 6 letters returned because I have not been notified about address changes, and only 2 have returned the page that I ask to be signed and returned to me. When you enrolled in the Cherokee Tribe of Kentucky you made the following commitment " By enrolling in the Cherokee Tribe of Kentucky you are pledging your participation in the life and activities of the Tribe. This is not the Tribe for those who are only wanting to get a “card.”" One of the principles that we live by is "Integrity" which means when we promise something, we do it. If we are to continue as a Tribe than we must begin to act like a Tribe. I will not belong to, or lead, a group of "card" holders. There is no way we can, or will, apply for State Recognition if we don't have communication, and that means both ways. If I don't hear from you very soon I will take that to mean that either you don't want a Tribe or you don't want me as Chief.
