Currently the Western Cherokee Nation of Arkansas and Missouri is
working on its Federal Recognition Process. The petition for Unambiguous
Federal Recognition was sent to the Bureau of Indian Affairs on December 26, 2006.
The BIA has up to 1 1/2 yr for a response. We are still waiting for more contacts
from the BIA. Therefore, the current status is Not Federally Recognized. Check back often
for more updates.

WCNAM Needs your Help!!!
We need your help and support to continue on the Federal Recognition path.
To all who have not paid your membership dues, please do so immediately!
As everyone knows, in a business you need money to keep things up and running
and that is what we are asking. We need money to keep the office open, pay
taxes, pay employees and keep everything on the right track. If we can not
get these things done then all of the work we have accomplished will be for
nothing. It takes a lot of funds to keep this type of work running
smoothly and we are running low. Lately we have not received very much
support, we need your help. If you can donate please do so, if you have
not paid your dues please again do so. We appreciate all who have
supported us and those who continue to, thank you. We understand that this
is a rough time of year, but understand this, if we can't keep the office open
then everything we have struggled for will be lost! You can pay your dues
online or even send them in to us at the office, same goes for the donations!
Contact us if your require assistance or need some information! Help us
continue on the main goal we all seek, Federal Recognition.
Thank You, Chief Lola Smith Scholl
Show your support, Please! Currently we are
running low on funds, we need the income to keep the office open in order to
continue on with the Federal Recognition. We are currently asking that
everyone donate at least $10.00, but if you can send more we would greatly
appreciate it. If we can not keep the office open then all of the work
we have done will be for nothing. As everyone is aware of, it takes a
lot of time, effort and money to fight for our Recognition and the employees
here at the office have done an excellent job this year. Now we are
requesting that every member that views this site to please donate to our
effort to keep up the fight for what is ours. Everyone wants to see
the Western Cherokee Nation of Arkansas & Missouri gain what is rightfully
ours, so please support your tribe and help us to help you. We are
asking every member to stand up and show your support in the hard work it
takes to continue onto our ultimate goal. We currently have over
40,000 members enrolled, but only a select few this year have helped the
Western Cherokee Nation. We can't keep fighting if we all can't come
together to help! So I'm asking again that everyone please show your
support and pledge to help the Western Cherokee Nation, if we all come
together we will finally reach our goal and one day become a Federally
Recognized Tribe!
