Just hit the search button near the top.
This is the first I've heard of this group. On the surface they look to be a cultural heritage group. But when you go to their board of directors, there's afew things.

And some of those "elders" learned from dubious sources, or make dubious claims.

Mad Bear was a mentor and took Rahkeh under his wing and was an Uncle to him in the Traditional way. He groomed and directed Rahkeh from 1976 through 1985."
Anderson was an imposter who died from alcoholism.
http://www.tnscc.com/bios/tsolagiu.html"Tsolagiu RuizRazo in May of 2001, at the reception and
book signing to celebrate her book,"Spirit Of The White Wolf Woman".
Born in Missouri, Toni is Wolf Clan of the Cherokee Nation. Her ancestral roots extend throughout the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Arkansas....She was fortunate to work with and help many different peoples from many different backgrounds and cultures....
Toni discovered her special gifts at the age of seven when she was attending Mass and heard voices and sounds of thunder. She fainted and when she woke up later, she found herself on the floor. Following this event, she had other experiences such as traveling to the Sky World as well as to unknown dimensions and communicating with spirits, including people who had died years before."
http://www.tnscc.com/bios/tanawaki.html"Tanawaki is Cherokee, Wolf Clan. She was born in Hartford, CT in 1968 and raised in a small town called Harwinton, CT. With her mother, Tsolagiu, being a heavily gifted woman, Tanawaki learned about spirit at a very early age....Toward the middle of 1990 Tanawaki traveled with Bruce Elijah, of the Oneida Nation, Canadian side, who also taught her many things about the Native culture and how she should be as a native woman. While traveling and learning with Bruce Elijah she stayed on the Oneida Territory, in Southwold, Canada and visited Ganasadage in Quebec, Canada at a Youth and Elders Meeting where she met many “First Nations�?? people and learned many things. She stayed in Oneida (Canadian Side) for 1 ½ months."
Living with Oneidas for a month and a half to learn Cherokee culture?
The site seems to be mostly people of possible or distant Cherokee ancestry who learned from the several Six Nations members of the group. Many of them do seem to have done good work.
What was it about the group that concerned you?
