 Osiyo (Hello),

Friends of Cherokee Native American Family Research!

 

         We, as a non-profit ‘charitable Cherokee Native American family history research and historical cultural preservation group’ of spiritually innate Cherokee blooded individuals, belong to the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints.  We call ourselves the ‘LDS’ Cherokee Family.  We ask the Lord to guide us in our Cherokee Family History research; to produce, secure and provide locations and sources of Cherokee family information and truths, that we might be united with our families of old and our Cherokee cousins of today.  We believe the true prophecy of Native American ancient spiritual truth is about to be fulfilled and unified for the world equality and balance. 

 

          We the people, Peacekeeper (Tohi’ugase’sdi) descendents of our ancient Cherokee Old Wise Ones called ‘the Bearers of the Divine Fire,’ (Cheera’tahgi) unite in our Family Gatherings because our hearts and spirits are beating to a new kind of Cherokee drum.  We gather because we feel a new and everlasting covenant of responsibility.   As followers of Jesus Christ, we seek after our blood relatives who reach into the heart of our antiquity.  Feeling our responsibility as Cherokee DNA Native American descendents of those who anciently lived the Creator’s full truth, we took to establish upon our own accord a free and independent ‘latter-day special service organization. We do this aside from the governing management of nationally recognized Cherokee Nations. We do this aside from the governing management of our mother church to which L. D. S. C. F members give our personal individual adherence to it’s principles, while yet serving collectively within both obligatory responsibilities to church and family, with our wholehearted integrity. This we do in full conscience, by recognizing the same paralleled truths lived by our Cherokee Old Wise Ones who are our ancient 'Peacekeeper' forefathers, to be the same truths we strive to live by today under the mantle of Jesus Christ’s name and his modern-day Latter-day Saint Peacemaker’s church. 

 

         Our responsibility to our families, who have gone on before us, stems from the words of our Prophet Joseph when he was speaking of seeking out and sealing ourselves to our families who have gone before us.  He said:

 

"The spirits of the just,...enveloped in flaming fire,...are not far from us, and know and understand our thoughts, feelings, and motions...and are often pained therewith.  If you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates."

 

          The Cherokee Old Wise Ones were called The Chosen Ones or The Real Ones of the Creator, just as Latter-day Saints are called The Chosen Ones or Saints of his.  We also, being individuals who claim to be people of ‘a fire within’ that is the symbol of heavenly power for The Chosen People of God (Cheera’taugi) unite together in an equality of true balanced spiritual strength and invite all other’s of the Chosen of God to join with us in harmony.  We meet in love and respect with our related One-Fire Peacemaker descended Cherokee (the A’ni Yunwiya) families of today.  We do this for the purpose of searching out and bringing honor to our ancestor’s enduring spirits, and our endearing relationships with them. We also extend ourselves for the preservation of our everlasting family ties.  We hope such unity will soon be based on an everlasting spiritual ‘oneness’ under our old and new everlasting covenant from our ancient family, Father Abraham (Equa’hami), through our Lord, Jesus Christ (Tsisa Golonedv) the Heart of Heaven (Adanvti), who is the first begotten Son of our Heavenly Parents.  It is in our heavenly home in the star worlds where we determine to be with them forever.  We pray that he who we know as our Redeemer and Savior and the Creator of All will send his peace to all our Cherokee Real People brothers and sisters of the Cherokee Native American Nation now living on Mother Earth, and ask to each ask to each descendent,  “Are you my friend?”(Dohitsu Ogi’nali’I)  For we are yours!

          We, through our latter-day Plan of Salvation and our ancient Wisdom Secret Teachings of the Sacred White Journey (Kanv’waodi U’dami’lagi) , both which teach us how to return home successfully together, ask also that we may be guided to build the Rainbow Bridge (Unvgo-ladv Asvtlvi ) of friendship between our modern Cherokee cousins and Latter-day Saint worlds through an outreach of today’s multi-media, the many avenues of family research and our prayers.  We, the LDS Cherokee Family, are a separate clan of People of Fire (Cheera’tahgi) from other Cherokee groups.  We look forward with true honor and increased opportunities that are available to us today - to unite as one family through our ancient ancestors to the several Cherokee nations, tribes, bands, clans and people’s common welfare of the Cherokee Principal People. 

 

          We, being faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are tied together as a spiritual peacekeeping people of like traditional convictions to uphold and be witnesses to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (Golonev Tsi sa). We honor him as the Master of Life and Creator of all the heavens, of our earth and all it’s creations, and the Savior Redeemer of all peoples of the Universe.  We honor all of the creations that the Lord has put here upon this Mother Earth as well as the heavenly bodies of the Universe.  In addition to being the ‘Creator’ (U’nela’nauhi), we stand in support of Jesus Christ as being the ‘Peacemaker’ (Anotlv’sgv tohidv and the ‘Great Spirit’ (E-qua Adanvto or Ma’nito’u) within all creation.  We revere his handiwork and feel it our responsibility to be stewards for our Mother Earth.  We also feel our given responsibility is to learn from each and every potential teacher found in nature while helping to restore those teachings of the Great Creator to our families and neighbors.

     

           We are a charitable special services membership organization, with additional desired group focus to be of comfort and help to our ‘living’ Cherokee Native American descended cousins regardless of religious or spiritual preferences. We are learning daily of ever more ways to find our Cherokee forefathers and share that knowledge with all who may need our help.  We are also reaching out to other Latter-day Saints who would like to join with us in doing so.  Membership information may be found on page 14 in our Internet Web Site listed below.

           Some of our goals and purposes are to prepare listings on the Internet for:

1.     Personal Family History Research Opportunities,

2.     Individual Family Genealogical Support,

3.     Historical Cultural Preservation, 

4. Assistance in Personal Cherokee Family Extraction

 

We work on a non-profit basis and are just now in the process of establishing information covering these areas.  While we are yet searching and learning how to do this; we feel a oneness with our heavenly angel family (Ani’ Adawee), and join in their long ago Cherokee cries of:

 

“Do it!”

(Na’sgi Do’hna’dvga)

 

and

 

“May The Great Spirit's Blessings always be with you!”

(Yigaquv osaniyu adanvto adadoligi naqvv utlogasdi nihi.)

 

God Keep You!


Your Friends,
Dick Wind Beneath Wings and Lanora Little White Feather Grondel, LDS Cherokee Family Head Voices,
