Being the seventh generation of original peoples, we have heeded the call of our ancestors whom have walked before us, to come together for the unification of all Nations and Tribes of the people. We wish to set the record straight, RedNation of the Cherokee, is an independent, intertribal, international Nation comprised of not just Cherokee alone, but walk the path of the 500 Nations, and have welcomed all 500 Nations people to join with us in this sacred hoop of unification.
We do not make all members Cherokee; one must follow the path of their own ancestors, and their own customs and traditions. We do choose to follow the old ways of all ancestors of the 500 Nations in recognition of our own people. We do not need to follow the standards of the antiquated BIA regulations/policies of the late 1700’s or after any longer! Which, dices people up into fractions and percentages, we are true human beings and a whole person.
Our beliefs are, if an individual is of multi-Nations, then they should be allowed to honor each of them in their own way, not being forced to choose one over the other.
We of the Red Clay People of all Nations believe, we should not have to prove our heritage’s on the talking leaves paper, but be allowed to prove in the older way, what is truth in our hearts.
The Creator has heard the prayers of the people, and gave vision to start RedNation of the Cherokee. To make a place, for all the people to have a home and family, to come to and to be finally called brother or sister and to be recognized as blood.
It’s time, to change the tears of our ancestors, into joy and to be proud of the new generation! It’s also time for doing away with division and fighting amongst the people of different Nations and Tribes.
“Strength is like the bundle of arrows, tied together they are unbreakable, separate, they are broken easily”. This lesson was taught to us long ago, it is now time to remember that lesson, and abide by it!

HOLD ON TO YOUR PURPOSE!!!!
This is the RedNation's Prayer Song to go out to All Four Directions!
We give FULL credit to the Brothers and Sisters in Canada who originally meant for this song to be a message to keep kids in school to get an education, but little did they realize that this has touched all the Brothers and Sisters, Young and Elders alike to stir our Red-Hearts to....
"Hold on to our Purpose"
United as One People, as a Nation of Many Nations (The RedNation's) in Continuing to Keep our Cultures and Heritages Alive so that our Children and Grandchildren will have something to hold on too.
Let us also Join Interlocked Arms and Hands Together World-Wide! and Make The Sacred Medicine Wheel and Create Good Medicine for Healing of All People of All Nations and Tribes..
STOP! the fighting and bickering among yourselves and others, and learn to put your differences aside.
We as Parents, Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents, need to speak up and teach more about our "Older Ways" of the people, who have had the privledge to be taught by our elders before us to these precious children and others, for they are our very future, they are the Seeds of Our Very Existence! before all dies out with our generations!
Show all from a child's point of view, that it does not matter what color your skin or eyes or hair is, that it is what is in the heart that truly matters!
