WELCOME HOME!

"We have been told by a voice to remember our Tsalagi (Cherokee) ancestors, to pass on their ways, so they can't be forgotten. To help and serve one another for everyone&rsquos benefit. The less arguing, fighting, and grudges we hold the sooner our lives, our communities, and our world will be a better place to live". Our history is different than those whose ancestors were removed. Remember the Treaty of New Echota and the selling of our Tribal lands. We seek unity now for all Tribes, Nations and Bands of Tsalagi (Cherokee), we united together are the Ani-Yun'wi'ya, the Principal People, apart we are but lost. Remember we are the "Keepers of the Sacred Fire". Remembering this is a moral obligation to our future generations.

Our goals are specific; to gather all those who claim the right to be recognized as Tsalagi (Cherokee) , under one tribal membership organization. We will teach our children and grandchildren to appreciate the sacrifices of our ancestors, to respect their many hardships and to learn and teach our history, language and culture to the future generations before it is lost forever.

With your help, The United Cherokee Nation (UCN) will become the largest Tsalagi (Cherokee) tribal membership organization in the world. We invite you to be a part of our future as we continue with THE "GATHERING".

Now is the time for THE "GATHERING"

Interested in Joining? Fulfill your destiny!

If you have one drop of Tsalagi (Cherokee) blood and feel a need to join with your family; I invite you to fill out your application for membership and join with us today in, THE "GATHERING". Become a part of the future of The United Cherokee Nation (UCN). Do this for your children and your grandchildren. "We Will Not Forget" those ancestor's that came before us.

We are now an International Tribal Membership Organization and welcome all those of Tsalagi (Cherokee) blood to join with us no matter where you live on "Mother Earth".

Stone Bear - Nvya Yona

O'siyo (Hello) to all, I am called Stone Bear; Upon my Fourth Anniversary of being named National / Principal Chief, I again renew my pledge to you. I accept this great responsibility as your Chief with humble respect. My word to you is, "I will continue to give my best for the good of all of the people".

As we continue to grow, I urge each of you to be an Ambassador for our organization and to continue to meet and "Gather the Lost Tsalagi". These times are changing and we do need to remember the old ways and to honor our ancestors.

Wado (Thank You), to all of my brothers and sisters who have joined in this massive effort to gather the lost Tsalagi (Cherokee) into one international tribal membership organization. Some of you I already have met or spoken with, in the future I look forward to meeting and talking with each member of The United Cherokee Nation (UCN). I do attend Pauwau's and dress in my elk-skin "Indian Suit" and ribbon shirt as my ancestor's did. Until we see each other (or meet) again (do-`da-ga-g`hv-i) !

"We had a great turnout in March, even though it rained 2 of the 3 days, 21 people were here. We had a sweat lodge and plenty of food, even had a new baby, 6 months old! We are hoping on having another sweat lodge and walk up to where we had our vision quest. - Mothers Watcher "

Applications will be processed Quarterly, please see the Tribal Card information webpage. I am still out on the road as of May 2010 and will be visiting many of our members and Chiefs along the Path. I might take a couple of days to answer your emails, depending on where I am at the time.

Each year brings changes from within and without. Please pray for all of those that have lost their way! We move forward together or perish alone. We need everyone to participate and help with our goal of "The Gathering", many hands make work light.
