Our Dearest Brothers and Sisters,
We would like to apologize for this being late. We have had a lot going on.
I have good news and some bad news. We'll start with the bad news. Andrew Light has filed an objection to our trademark. Our attorney has informed us that it will cost $20,000 plus and at least a year to fight this. The good part of it is the burden of proof is on Andrew Light. This means that we will be able to see all of his records. This way we can prove they have no proof of existence since the Civil War. Of course, the money is a problem. But our attorney also said that it would take $25,000 to 50,000 to fight us.
We never wanted to stoop to Andrew Light's level, we have shown we are good Cherokee People, so our battle begins, please pray for our Nation and this man Andrew Light. If I may borrow some words from a very wise Cherokee woman - No Moccasin Woman, she says often we need to go to war for nation, our Brothers and Sisters and our children, when they are ill, lost, hungry, suffering, challenged and THREATENED. She is also correct in saying that we go forth with great power and force with the power of our ancestors, we must pray to our ancestors for wisdom and guidance to lead us.
I have heard from a reliable source that Mr. Light is a rogue element, and that he does not represent the Southern Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. He is causing Oklahoma as much trouble as he is us. They say he has absolutely no authority or even a group. If this is true, the destruction of Mr. Light is imminent.
Now for the good news. I have called BIA in Washington, D.C. I was informed that our documents are at present on the desk awaiting our file number. Once we have received our file number we will fall under the protection of the BIA, and they will be able to help us with Andrew Light. We have his site. It is:
www.southerncherokeeok.com/news.html - The only council members are Andrew Light and his daughter. There are many slanderous things about us.
The holidays are approaching, we need to give thanks to Our Creator for all our blessings and for the strength, wisdom, and healing that He has already bestowed on us. We also pray for the homeless, the hungry, the sick, all of our service personnel and their families, They are over there trying to help other people on foreign ground and our U.S. Government and "Our Leader". How fortunate we all are even with war and misfortune, our Prayers are also out for the wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, children, family and friends to deal with their losses, we are thankful but feel their grief and loss.
We have had much sickness, illness, loss of loved ones, loss of financial monies but we still have each OTHER MY FAMILY!!!!
As you know, I have been out of work for 7 months plus with my back injury, now I have 2 battles to fight. Workers Comp is giving me GRIEF by not wanting to give me the care I need. How can people be so cruel. I call them and ask when I'm going to get a check or get relief, they tell me they are frustrated. "Excuse me", I said "your frustrated, try not having food, gas, medicine, or a pay check, at least your getting a pay check.
Enough of that , we hope all of you have the happiest of holidays and that the Creator continues to bless all of you, our Brothers and Sisters. Until December Newsletter With all of our love. Chief and Margaret.
