What is Sovereignty?

 

Our vision for our future is taken from our past.  In 1883, Senator Dawes reported this about the Cherokee Nation after visiting our capital:

"There was not a family in that whole nation that had not a home of its own.  There was not a pauper in that nation, and the nation did not owe a dollar."

We should work together for a future in which every Cherokee family owns its own home, no Cherokees are suffering in poverty and our government and citizens are self-sufficient.*

Our government continues to thrive today as we rebuilt a great nation.
