i'm posting this on behalf of a well known member of the cherokee nation and works for the tribe
thomas king, author,
http://www.uoguelph.ca/atguelph/00-01-19/people.html there is also a wikipedia entry on him
i never read his books myself nor am i cherokee so i cannot tell you guys what is bullshit or what is not
but the friend, he maintains that thomas king is absolutely NOT cherokee in any way shape or form
i dont know if he sells ceremony of anything else....but i know he is selling books and sold himself as a native to get a job at a college.........(sound familiar?)
my friend just asked for that to be put out there.....im also going to invite him to join this site
