Thank you for taking the time to complete this application for tribal membership. More importantly, we are very pleased

that you have the desire to fulfill your spiritual journey as a Cherokee Indian. It is our goal to unite all Native American people

together as one in a spiritual bond to travel the Red Road and establish our rights as Native American / Cherokee.

Many of our Native American brothers and sisters are unable to get on federally closed rolls.

By filling out this application, you are establishing your right to be recognized as a Cherokee Indian not only within the

United States, but worldwide as many Native Americans are currently living abroad.

The Alapaha River Band of Cherokee accepts all people who have Native American blood, as a tribal member as well

as an associate membership for those without. Upon acceptance, members will be issued a tribal card.

All cards and documentation will come from the Tribal Office in Florida therefore all donations should be made to the

Alapaha River Band of Cherokee, Inc. and sent to the Tribal Office in Florida.

Each member is protected under the following Acts:

1. The American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978

2. The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment

3. The Free Exercise Clause of the 1968 Indian Civil Rights Act

As your Principal Chief, I look forward to assisting you in your journey and together, we

will accomplish great things.

Sincerely,

George “EYE OF EAGLE” Burke

Principal Chief of The Alapaha
