I was just introduced to this web site today and am trying to bring my self up to date with what has been going on.
I do have information that I feel will be helpful with the Chickamauga group in FL.
I would like to bring everyone's attention to this web site:
Chickamaugacherokee.org
I would like to add some insight and information to this group, as I personally know some of the members of this so-called 'tribe'.
At the bottom of the web page you will find a single photo of a large drum. Under the drum it reads:
"Chief Night Hunter (Scott Mitchell) and his family will be drum at the event in Washington DC".
I know Scott. I have been to his home. He came by that drum last spring, by trading his small boat for it!
He knows no songs; he has no teacher to share the drum teachings.
He learns (if you can call it that) songs from CDs that he picks up at Pow Wows.
He showed up to an event in Ohio last summer as a paid drum group: he was a group of ONE!!!!
he carried the drum in, sat down next to some real drums, and began to sing.
Needless to say he was stopped! He alone sat there and tried to sing.
This man has no clue what he is doing, and now he is going to go to Washington DC with the Chickamauga Cherokee group, and will be portraying himself as a Chief, and a Deputy Sheriff no less.
Yes-- that's right; he is calling himself ( as well as others from this group), Deputy Sheriff. Please see link below.
http://chickamaugacherokee.org/police/It only gets better! His wife is listed as Clan Mother. She is a white woman who knows nothing about native life.
If you were to ask her for moon teachings, she would say: " Well, it comes up every night, and sets every morning".
She has no clue what the heck she is talking about. She (nor her husband) have ever been to a real ceremony-- they don't know their own history or any of the true Cherokee ways.
Scott is Cherokee, but refuses to go t the real people of Cherokee to become registered, or to ask for help and teachings.
He refuses to learn the true ways of his ancestry. Even if this Chickamauga Cherokee band was the real deal, everything they have done and said discredits them completely.
Scott was asked not long ago how it was that he became Chief of this Clan. His response: "There was no one to fill the spot, so they asked me".
He has never meet the people in FL. his only contact with them has been by phone.
He was part of the group in KY. but left when he felt his kids were being miss treated.
Shortly after leaving this group in KY No Moccasin Women who was also a part of the KY. group left and went to FL.
She called him and asked him to join in FL.
Now Scott's wife has become Clan Mother of said Clan for the same reason-- guess they are keeping it in the family!
The country needs to know about these fake wing nuts! This march in Washington DC is a shame, and true native people are getting wrapped up in it.
Get the word out--it's a fake tribe with a real agenda, and it's not a good one!
As the day's go by I will post more of what I know I think all of you will find it unbelievable.
