Hello, my name is Jack
The Cherokee Free Nation of Sequoyah is the largest of the various Indian Nations now. The original founders were Freedmen, descendents of Cherokee slaves that the Cherokee Nation said weren’t Cherokee enough to keep their citizenships, so they named themselves after the Indian who invented writing in the Cherokee language. Kind of a “take that” challenge. They welcomed any Cherokee who felt uncomfortable in their home nation, and then they welcomed any Indians, and finally anybody at all. Study their history, pass their citizenship test, and you are a citizen of Sequoyah. I may have picked up an honorary citizenship over the years. I like dancing with them.
