In the 1890’s when many of the mixed blood Cherokee and descendents were trying to regain citizenship in the tribe there was a man (or men) who formed “The Cherokee Indian Citizenship Association, Afton Indian Territory. This ‘association’ handed out official looking certificates which some people used to gain citizenship and apply for the Dawes/Miller payments. I’ve done an internet search on this and find next to nothing that tells me if this was a ligitimate organization/office or was it someone pulling a boondoggle? Joyce Gaston Reece
