Our mission is to preserve and document the history, culture and genealogy of the Cherokee people. We provide the tools and resources with which descendants can discover and preserve their family heritage, learn more about who they are, and join together with tribal members. Here you can gain knowledge of the spiritual aspects, learn the language, hear music and news in native tongue, or read the secrets of the Cherokee shamans. 
Some people of Cherokee blood are unable to enroll in a federally recognized tribe due to an inability to provide documentation in support of their claim. In many cases the information simply wasn't passed down to them by their ancestors. Others may have difficulty locating a name on certain rolls. Undocumented, disenfranchised, and rejected Cherokee people need assistance in being recognized for who they are. We provide free tools and resources to help accomplish this task. When you complete the "Declaration of Cherokee Heritage" form you will be issued a CDC number that corresponds to your file and is a means of reference to your linage. Don't know much about your ancestors? Don't worry, you can add additional information later as you learn more. What's more, the information you provide is combined with that of others to create a historical "picture" of the past. It can provide important clues to help you "fill in the blanks" when you have hit a wall on your family tree research..
In the coming weeks we will add many new and interesting materials you will find no where else on the web. |
