This bill is called the Five Nations Indian Land Reform Act and it has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a unanimous vote. Now it is time for the U.S. Senate to act. Please follow the link below. With just a couple of minutes of effort on your part, you can help Indian families protect their restricted land allotments. By sending Senator Inhofe an email with this message, you are encouraging him to make the passage of this non-controversial bill a priority. This small effort will help keep Indian families from losing their restricted and trust land to adverse possession. Please take the time to read the letter, follow the link, and send it on the Senator Inhofe. http://www.cherokee.org/TribalGovernment/ChiefPage.asp?ID=08 With your help, the Senator will have an inbox full of thousands of messages from Cherokee people who are interested in protecting the rights of Native American landowners. Our goal is to have each of you to email the Senator before September 5. This bill has the unanimous support of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole and Muscogee (Creek) Nations. Please add your support as well by forwarding the following message.

Buttrick and John Howard Payne in 1835 The world was created at the time of the first new moon in autumn, with the fruits all ripe. The first new moon in autumn is therefore the great new moon, or nu-ta-te-qua and with it the year commences, as regards the feasts of new moons, though the first new moon is spring begins the year with regard to the feast of first fruits, etc., because then the fruits begin to come forward. INFORMANT: Yu-wi-yo-ka Alexander Longe's Cherokee informant. in 1725, stated that the Green Corn Ceremony MUST take place, and MUST observe the sacrifice of the first fruits, and the priests' prayer to God, for if we do not remember him in thanksgiving, he will not remember us. *Note: Cultural information may vary from clan to clan, location to location, family to family, and from differing opinions and experiences.
