FACT: The amendment to our Constitution affects the citizenship of all non-Indians who were granted citizenship rights under a tribal court ruling one year ago, regardless of their ethnic background.
My Truth!
Simply more lies on top of the lies, the misconception of the bogus amendment in regards to whites has absolutely nothing to do with the adopted whites you can see on the 1880 Cherokee census, and enumerated on the Dawes Rolls in the adopted white section. the attempted deception in the amendment, states the intermarried Whites along with the freedmen will be removed...A wiley coyote trick, a play on/with words for the effect of kicking out white non Cherokee...The simple fact is there are most likely no intermarried Cherokee left alive, they were all adults at the inception of the Dawes Rolls enumeration preparations in 1898, so depending on their marrying age they would be at least 120 years old or so today, or last year at the time of the passage of the amendment, and the simple fact because of the fact of the Cherokee Parent all Children were enumerated as a Cherokee citizen, so NO whites are kicked out, and the adopted white descendants with absolutely no Cherokee blood remain as Cherokee Citizens, plain and simple.
4. MYTH: Non-Indians who have long been Cherokee citizens are now being “disenrolled.”
FACT: The amendment to our Constitution only affects certain people who were granted tribal citizenship under a tribal court ruling just one year ago. This vote affirms the people's passionate belief that you need one Indian ancestor listed on the base roll to be a Cherokee.
My Truth!
You be the judge, simply read the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma supreme Court ruling you will find this ruling granted nothing, it simply affirms the Freedmen were Cherokee Citizens the day before the CNO Constitution of 1975, and most assuredly were so the day after and are today, and also struck down a legislative act as unconstitutional, a law that stripped the Freedmen of their Citizenship rights. Any passion on anything on the part of Smith, cannot be a belief, because he is a lawyer and knows better, his is a passion for racist segregation liken to George Wallace, as I have shown before and I show again the very next day following the Court ruling he published a letter on the CNO website, demonstrating this you can SEE IT HERE
5. MYTH: It is unfair to rely on the Dawes Roll as the base roll of the Cherokees to prove Indian ancestry.
FACT: The Dawes Roll is not perfect, but we rely on it because it is the best, most authoritative historical document we have to determine who our Indian ancestors were, going back 100 years.
My Truth!
One of the absolute truths in the facts of CNO/Smith!The Truth About Our History
6. MYTH: Freedmen and other non-Indians have long been part of the Cherokee Nation.
FACT: Freedmen and other non-Indians were granted tribal citizenship under a tribal court ruling just one year ago. Prior to that and following this vote, to be part of the Cherokee Nation you must have one Indian ancestor listed on the base roll of our people.
My Truth!
This was stated earlier at number 4. along with my truth! and on the base roll see my truth at number 1, my truth!
7. MYTH: The Cherokee Nation is expelling the descendants of their former slaves.
