Why do members of the House and Senate who are supposed to represent the Citizens of The Chickamauga Nation take money from The Cherokee Nation and then refuse to talk to the Chiefs of The Chickamauga Nation? Many recipients are on the House Natural Resources Committee which the Indigenous Peoples Subcommittee is part of and the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. Why are they taking money from the Cherokee and then refusing to speak with The Chickamauga Nation? Are there strings attached to the money?
This following only represents political giving from a single corporate entity called the Cherokee Nation. It does not represent additional corporate giving from the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, Cherokee Industries, Cherokee Enterprises, and Cherokee Finances. We will begin documenting them in future posts along with the corporate giving from other corporations masquerading as "Tribes".
