JUSTICE DEFENSE INTEGRITY SERVICE - HOMELAND SECURITY FIGHTING TERRORISM SINCE 1492 Territorial Defense

Volume 133 in The Civilization of the Americas Series This book traces the emergency of the Cherokee system of laws from the ancient spirit decrees to the fusion of tribal law ways with Anglo-American law. The Cherokees enacted their first written law in 1808 in Georgia. In succeeding years the leaders and tribal councils of the southeastern and Oklahoma groups wrote a constitution, established courts, and enacted laws that were in accord with the old tribal values but reflected and accommodated to the whites' legal system. Thanks to the great gift of Sequoyah-his syllabary-the Cherokees were well versed in their laws, able to read and interpret them from a very early time. The system served the people well. It endured until 1898, when the federal government abolished the tribal government. The author provides a brief review of Cherokee history and explains the circumstances surrounding the stages of development of the legal system. Excerpts from editorials in the Cherokee Phoenix and the Cherokee Advocate, letters, and tribal documents give added insight into the problems the Cherokees faced and their efforts to resolve them. Of particular interest is a series of charts explaining the complex Cherokee spirit system of crimes (or "deviations") and the punishments meted out for them. A legal historian of Osage and Cherokee heritage, Rennard Strickland is considered a pioneer in introducing Indian law into university curriculum. He has written and edited more than 35 books and is frequently cited by courts and scholars for his work as revision editor in chief of the Handbook of Federal Indian Law. Strickland has been involved in the resolution of a number of significant Indian cases. He was the founding director of the Center for the Study of American Indian Law and Policy at the University of Oklahoma. He is the first person to have served both as president of the Association of American Law Schools and as chair of the Law School Admissions Council. He is also the only person to have received both the Society of American Law Teachers (SALT) Award and the American Bar Association's Spirit of Excellence Award. Strickland was the dean of the law school from 1997 to 2002.    We Follow the "White Path of Righteousness" 

 John Phillip Reid is widely known for his groundbreaking work in American legal history. "A Law of Blood," first published in the early 1970s, led the way in an additional newly emerging academic field: American Indian history. As the field has flourished, this book has remained an authoritative text. Indeed, Gordon Morris Bakken writes in the foreword to this edition that Reid s original study shaped scholarship and inquiry for decades.  Forging the research methods that fellow historians would soon adopt, Reid carefully examines the organization and rules of Cherokee clans and towns. Investigating the role of women in Cherokee society, for example, he found that married Cherokee women had more legal authority than their counterparts in Anglo-American society. In particular, Reid explores the Cherokees revolutionary attitudes toward government and the unique relationship between the members of the tribe and their law. Before the first European contact, the Cherokee Nation had already developed a functioning government, and by the early nineteenth century, the first Cherokee constitution had been enacted."   We Follow the "White Path of Righteousness"

SEPARATION OF GOVERNMENTAL POWERS:

The State of SCNRFP and Its Citizens Observes Our Government's Separation of Governmental Powers, Designated Capitals, and Functions of both the Central Government and the Tribal Government: to include but not limited to the Defined Boundaries, Foreign and Domestic Jurisdictions, Diplomatic Offices, Extraterritorial Trade Mission Offices (ETMO), International Foreign Territories, under International Diplomacy Agreements and Treaties with the Foreign Hosting Countries and Governments. These Sovereign Jurisdictions respect International Law and are under the Laws and Rights of The State of SCNRFP Central Government and Tribal SCNRFP Government, and both being a Separation of Governmental Powers, with both being under the Ruling Power of The Supreme Authority of The Theocracy Government who is Divinely Guided by The Sovereign Authority of The Great Spirit Creator.

 The tribal nation remains within the original defined boundaries while State of SCNRFP is a recognized country by a number of member states of the United Nations. The tribal nation SCNRFP only conducts Internal Tribal Affairs and has tribal members and adoptions as was traditional, while the recognized country handles all State and International Affairs only, thus the central government conducts state affairs and foreign affairs and has added an additional citizenship as with all other countries with the ability to have dual citizenship and citizens born within our country. The State of SCNRFP operates from within their international foreign jurisdictions under diplomacy agreements, and does not operate within the boundaries of America, while the Tribal Nation conducts Internal Tribal Affairs only from within the 1785 boundaries, but does No Commerce in America, rather cultural and traditional activities, and social and humanitarian activities only. Tribal members continue to live throughout the 1785 boundaries and elsewhere, and remain lineage or adopted by a clan family, while the State of SCNRFP has citizens and dual citizens just like any other recognized country.  The Tribal Nation has an office within the 1785 Boundaries today where the Principal Chief office resides today known as Tanasi, while The State of SCNRFP has offices within the International Foreign jurisdictions  under diplomacy agreements as many are  listed on the Recognition Page on this government website, where the Prime Minister office resides today, and The State of SCNRFP holds no diplomatic office and conducts No Commerce from within America.
