Hello and welcome to the website for the San Diego Cherokee Community. We are a newly formed satellite community of the Cherokee Nation created to act as the official point of contact between the Cherokee Nation and its citizens in the San Diego County area.
|
Our vision is to:
• Promote and nurture the historical values for Cherokee citizens living outside the Cherokee Nation boundaries.
• To learn and retain Cherokee language and culture for future generations.
• To be knowledgeable and assist the tribal nation in the issues facing modern Cherokee citizens.
• To disseminate information on issues and to act as liaison for the Cherokee Nation.
• To work in concert with other pilot California citizen organizations for the benefit of the Cherokee Nation as a whole.
This organization will be directed predominately by citizens of the Cherokee Nation. However, non-citizen Cherokees, family members, and non-Indians with an interest in the Cherokee Nation are also welcome to participate.
