When the institutions of government, proscribed by a constitution, are missing, it is the duty and obligation of the people to fill them or reorganize. To do the former would restore the Cherokee Nation to its rightful position of self governance. To do the latter would subject the Cherokee people to whims of a paternalistic and domineering foreign government.
The Cherokee people except for the UKB, and the EBC have not in this century reorganized their government. Nor have they properly restored the institutions of government proscribed by their documented delegation to govern, the 1839 Constitution; Therefore it is incumbent upon the leaders of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma (CNO), or the people themselves to do so, so the the Great Nation of the Cherokee may once again live as a government of, by and for the Cherokee people.
