We, the undrsigned, are requesting the President of the united States, The Senate and House of Representatives and the Judiciary of the United States of America and public support in defending the rights of non-reservation Cherokee descendnts who were labeled negroe, colored, mulatto and BLACK, autonomous Cherokee tribes, and Class IV Cherokee descendants. As law abiding citizens of the United States of America, with Cherokee ancestry, we ask for protection against the infringements of our human rights that all interferncers and hinderances made by any Govermental agency Federal, State, and Tribal to be terminated by reson of discrimination. We believe it's our Creator given right to honor our ancestors elders, families, children, and future generations through the public and/or private telling and retelling of our distinct historical, cultural, and traditional values as ani-yun-wiya (Principal People), a.k.a Cherokee. With yours and the Creator's help..."We Can" Please sign the petition.

I am currently organizing our documentation to present to the federal agencies mentioned in our petition. Call your local representatives today and demand they recognize these ancestral rights. We need to keep the pressure on until our identity is secure.

The momentum behind this fight is growing and it proves that our history cannot be erased or ignored any longer. Post this link to your Facebook feed today and email your representative to demand they acknowledge our rights as Cherokee descendants.

This is long overdue justice for families like mine who have been ignored by the gov for way too long.

ABOUT TIME. Stop erasing our history just because it doesnt fit inside a little box. We know who our ancestors are.

My grandmother always told us who we were, even when people tried to tell her otherwise. Glad to see some people finally standing up for the truth.
