<v Speaker 2>I am doing great, Tom o Ceo Nagata, Hello everyone, Osta,

5
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Suna Lee, good morning and happy Monday, which in Cherokee

6
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:16.199
<v Speaker 2>is known as unado.

7
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Dot kuan nahi. So how are you? Tom? How is

8
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>how is your weekend? Uneventful? Just the way I like

9
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it exactly. Yeah, you get to a certain age and

10
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>uneventful is good. Oh, it's a blessing, it really is.

11
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 2>We usually asking Cherokee at tohitu, which just means how

12
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 2>are you, and you'd respond back oast. But the course,

13
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 2>that's assuming you have a good weekend.

14
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>O oast. That's right. Good.

15
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, as always, we like to start out by

16
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 2>thanking our sponsor, Coffeeville Cooperative Credit Union located three thirteen

17
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>West nine Street and Coffeeville. They're all about providing with

18
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>great personal financial services. They want to remind you they'll

19
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>be closed for National Indigenous People's Day, or as some

20
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 2>would call it, Columbus Day. I'm not going to wade

21
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 2>into that controversy. Speaking of holidays, if you're not experiencing

22
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>any anxiety right now, you may be when you consider

23
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 2>we have only eighty days left until Christmas, so let

24
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the countdown begin. And if you're anything like me, you'll

25
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 2>start your Christmas shopping a few days before Christmas. But

26
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>those who want to get a jump on the holidays

27
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 2>might wonder how you'll get through these without extra funds.

28
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.799
<v Speaker 2>So go talk to the people at Claffville Cooperative Credit Union.

29
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>They're there to help.

30
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Head on up to see Lyle Martin's staff. They'll help

31
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 2>make your financial goals whatever they may be, a success.

<v Speaker 2>Insured by NCUA. Speaking of Lyle Martin, mister Martin had

35
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.120

36
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 2>and Native Beat would like to extend to him its

37
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 2>heartiest birthday wishes.

38
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Yle is not only the president.

39
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Of Coffeeville Cooperative Credit Union, he has served on the

40
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.159
<v Speaker 2>boards of two of our Cherokee communities here.

41
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 1>In Washington County.

42
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.359
<v Speaker 2>The Cherokee Cultural Community in Dewey located at seven hundred

43
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 2>East Durham and actually it's the other one is Nowata County.

44
00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 2>The Native American Fellowship Incorporated, located in the South Coffeeville

45
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>While is there any time one of our communities needs

46
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.920
<v Speaker 2>help or fellow Cherokees need help.

47
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a great guy.

48
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 2>He's very community minded and believes in helping others without

49
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>asking anything in return, and that is working in the

50
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>spirit of goodoogie, which is what our Cherokee concept of

51
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>working together is. He's an all around a great person.

52
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I really considered a privilege to work beside him.

53
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>And know him.

54
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>Nata Beet would also like to thank you for our listeners,

55
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>for your continued support and tuning in. Without you, we

56
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't be here locally. The past few weeks and next

57
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>few weeks will be busy. What happened, and we'll be

58
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>busy for our Native communities. The last weekend in September

59
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 2>was truly a busy one. Native American Fellowship, which is

60
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>in District eleven of the Cherokee Reservation, located in South Coffeeville,

61
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>celebrate its annual unity gathering. They packed a lot into

62
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 2>the five hours of celebration they had.

63
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>It was a great event.

64
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 2>They had traditional Cherokee games like hatchet throwing and Cherokee marbles.

65
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>They served traditional and non traditional foods like grape dumplings

66
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 2>to everyone, and of course, being diabetic, I had to

67
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:00.759
<v Speaker 2>make sure I moderated my intake grap dumplings.

68
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 1>You know, you've always got to do that, and any

69
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>exercise with the hatchet, that's exactly right. So it canceled

70
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.319
<v Speaker 1>it out. See it's perfect.

71
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, it was estimated they had anywhere from eight

72
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty to one thousand people in attendance, which

73
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>is just great. I mean that community is thriving up there.

74
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 2>They had speakers including the newly applanted District eleven Tribal

75
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Counselor at Kendram mcgeee at Large Councilor Johnny Jack Kidwell.

76
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Kendra mcgheey was appointed to fill the term of Victoria Vasquez,

77
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>who was the former Deputy Speaker of the Cherokee Tribal Council.

78
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Victoria was a Cherokee National Treasure.

79
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>She's a potter.

80
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.759
<v Speaker 2>Her mother was Ani Mitchell, which may sound familiar to

81
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>some Cherokees listeners because Ani Mitchell. The Animichal Cultural Center

82
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 2>and Venita is named for her. It serves as both

83
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 2>a cultural center and a welcome center there on Route

84
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 2>sixty six and I forty four. Ani Mitchell was a

85
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Cherokee National Treasurer in her own right because she actually

86
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>revived the art of Southwestern traditional pottery and that inspired

87
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>a whole generation of art us to pursue that. They've

88
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 2>got a wonderful museum up there dedicated to her. It's

89
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:08.479
<v Speaker 2>just it's a beautiful cultural center. The UNI gathering at Nafidough.

90
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>It also featured drummers, dancers, a Native art market, and

91
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 2>the chief even came to speak. And we shouldn't forget

92
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 2>the annual Tomahawk Throwing Championship this year. There were a

93
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 2>couple of teams participating and it was the Native American

94
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Fellowship and the Kansas City Cherokee Community. And I ended

95
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>up playing on theo the Kansas City Cherokee Community and

96
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately we lost.

97
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 1>We didn't farewell for a player to be named.

98
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, actually, you know, it was funny because I

99
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.480
<v Speaker 2>started throwing and I hadn't picked up a tomahawk in

100
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 2>like a month or two, and they were like, we're

101
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>getting a little worried because he was doing so well.

102
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 2>And then Kansas City was like how would you like

103
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 2>to be on our team? And so I was like, okay, yeah,

104
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>I'll go ahead and do it. But we ended up

105
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 2>losing anyway. So now the Native American Fellowship is to

106
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.800
<v Speaker 2>be the second year that they've won the championship, so

107
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.879
<v Speaker 2>they've earned bragging rights for another year. Let me tell

108
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you they exercised those bragging rights.

109
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh, they do, they do. They do loud and proud.

110
00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 1>They're loud and proud. That's absolutely right. And so we

111
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Venita a little earlier.

112
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of Venda, they celebrated Cherokee Day on the same

113
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Saturday as the Native American Fellowship Unity Gathering. Cherokee Day

114
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>takes place at the Eastern Trails Museum. They could typically

115
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.160
<v Speaker 2>kick off the event with a parade. Its purpose is

116
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 2>to mark the occasion the signing of the eighteenth thirty

117
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>nine treaty between the Old Seller Cherokees and the Cherokees

118
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 2>who came over on the Trail of Tears. There were

119
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>ones that were already settled here and then the ones

120
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>that came later. They kind of formed the new government

121
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and they came together as one Cherokee people.

122
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 1>So we celebrate that union. In eighteen thirty nine.

123
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.480
<v Speaker 2>The Eastern Trails Museum has several artifacts that tell the

124
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.639
<v Speaker 2>story of the Cherokee people and Cherokee Day and Venita

125
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 2>had several Cherokee treasures doing cultural demonstrations and live music

126
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 2>provided by the Cherokee Adult Choired and had interactive demonstrations

127
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 2>and carving, storytelling, basket weaving, and traditional games like Cherokee

128
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>marbles and things like that. Benita is chief Hoskins Backyard.

129
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 2>That's his hometown. It is in fact, his father was

130
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.600
<v Speaker 2>mayor there for several years, and he was in attendance

131
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>and headed up to Nafigue to the Affe Unity gathering

132
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>after that, and also he had in tow with him

133
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 2>the famed flutist Tommy Wildcat, who is no stranger to

134
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:19.399
<v Speaker 2>anything Cherokee.

135
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Really, I don't know. I think he may have. He

136
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>may have you.

137
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I know, he's put out several albums, you know, terrific flutists,

138
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 2>and he makes his own flutes which are amazing.

139
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Gathers Rivercane to do that.

140
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>This past weekend, the Nuita Cherokee community had its annual

141
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 2>art market. I always find some good things there for Christmas.

142
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>That's where I do a little bit of Christmas shopping.

143
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I encourage everyone who wants to find unique

144
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 2>gifts for Christmas to attend some of the native art

145
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>markets and buy from local artists, because the money you

146
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>put back you spend there will actually put back into

147
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 2>our local economy. And I'd love to keep the money

148
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 2>here instead of sitting it to Amazon or Walmart or yeah. Yeah,

149
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:58.959
<v Speaker 2>and and I know a lot of other people would

150
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>as well. And the New Eia Community will also be

151
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.639
<v Speaker 2>hosting a tribal registration and photo ID event at their.

152
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Building on October tenth from three to seven pm.

153
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 2>They're located right across the street from the Will Rogers

154
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Health Center and as a ten twenty six Lenape Drive,

155
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Cherokee Nation was in a loss of this past weekend,

156
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 2>they had one of those events and they had processed

157
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 2>over five hundred IDs and signed up one hundred new

158
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 2>citizenship or citizens to the roles. Not only is tribal

159
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>registration there, but also other departments are there to provide

160
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>information about different programs and services we provide our citizens.

161
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's definitely something we're going to especially if you

162
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:38.199
<v Speaker 2>don't have a tribal photo ID. You know a lot

163
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:40.680
<v Speaker 2>of people still don't, so we want to make sure

164
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 2>that those people step up and get that ID and

165
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:45.439
<v Speaker 2>just get it done exactly.

166
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, would be a great thing to have.

167
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>On October nineteenth, the Washington County Cherokee Association will be

168
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 2>hosting our own Cultural Celebration Day from.

169
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Ten am three pm.

170
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll have food vendors, hand on crafts such as feather

171
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>painting and beating, a native art market as well.

172
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>In fact, we'll even have authors there.

173
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 2>I believe last year we had Joe Don Brave, so

174
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.800
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have some great artists. We'll have traditional

175
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:12.439
<v Speaker 2>games such as tomahawk throwing, and we'll be doing blow

176
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 2>dart guns. Our spring Cultural Celebration was a blast. We

177
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.480
<v Speaker 2>actually had so many folks participating as we did with

178
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 2>the hands on crafts that we ran out of materials.

179
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:23.959
<v Speaker 2>So we're hoping that doesn't happen this time because it

180
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>was just people were just really enthusiastic about it and

181
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.160
<v Speaker 2>it was a great turnout. We encourage everyone to come

182
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 2>out and have a good time while.

183
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Learning about Cherokee culture. That's what it's all about.

184
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>We have some exciting things going out to Washington County

185
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Cherokee Association. We recently completed the installation of a digital

186
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 2>sign that was provided to us by a grant from

187
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Cherokee Nation and the Cherokee Community and Cultural Outreach Department.

188
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 2>We'd like to extend a big wadeau thank you to

189
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Chief Hoskin, the Cherokee Nation and CCO. It's truly a

190
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>great thing for our organization and we're extremely grateful for

191
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:57.840
<v Speaker 2>their help. I mean, it's going to be something that

192
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 2>we can provide information on, we can let people know

193
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 2>that we're there, you know, and it's it's a great

194
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.360
<v Speaker 2>roadside addition. It's it's just going to really help us

195
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 2>out bring awareness more.

196
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>To the community.

197
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 2>Chief Hoskin also decided we needed a permanent version of

198
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 2>the Housing, Jobs and Sustainability the Sustainable Communities Act to

199
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.399
<v Speaker 2>address housing needs considering the ongoing housing crisis that we see,

200
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, just all all over exactly, and this puts

201
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.519
<v Speaker 2>about forty million dollars a year every three years, and

202
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 2>only into housing, but our community structures. Locally, we're being

203
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 2>impacted by the chiefs commitment because right next to the

204
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 2>Washington County Cherokee Association in Oceanlanda which is just used

205
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to the Kouskuty Health Clinic, I'm pleased to report constructions

206
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 2>underway which will ultimately result in eleven to eleven four

207
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.879
<v Speaker 2>plexes for local families.

208
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:46.399
<v Speaker 1>We not only see this as.

209
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>A great thing for local Cherokee citizens, but for the

210
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 2>Washington County Cherokee Association, since we'll have an actively thriving.

211
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Community right next door to us.

212
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 2>And the really awesome thing is that a lot of

213
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.320
<v Speaker 2>times priority is given to either veterans or or the

214
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.279
<v Speaker 2>elders for housing, which is understandable, you want to honor

215
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>those folks. But we're also going to give priority to

216
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.480
<v Speaker 2>staff the work at the clinic because, you know, just

217
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>making it be an easier thing for them to be

218
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>working right right by, you know, where they live, so

219
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.679
<v Speaker 2>it'd be just a little small walk to the clinic

220
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>for them. So I think that's a very interesting concept

221
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.200
<v Speaker 2>that we've come up with. We have a construction project

222
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 2>underway to finish the Washington County Cherokee Association Community Building,

223
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 2>and the bidding process was just completed this past week

224
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 2>with the contractors. Once completed, we'll have a stay of

225
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the art facility with a full kitchen, classrooms, a media

226
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.080
<v Speaker 2>media center, making it and not only a great community building,

227
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 2>but also a great venue for anyone wishing to run

228
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>our space. We do have people that currently run our

229
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.519
<v Speaker 2>space now, but this is just going to kind of

230
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 2>address the place up, make it a little nicer, make

231
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.559
<v Speaker 2>it a little more presentable and accessible to people. And we're

232
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.679
<v Speaker 2>just hoping that more people will decide to take us

233
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 2>up on that offer and run our venue, because that's

234
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.279
<v Speaker 2>just why we put back in our community. And that's

235
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.840
<v Speaker 2>somebody that we use to help further the understanding of

236
00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Cherokee culture. And I'm the secretary of the Washington kind

237
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.639
<v Speaker 2>of Cherokee Association. To be you know, ful to disclosure here,

238
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 2>we hold a hot dog fundraiser at was a couple

239
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>of weekends ago, and I'd like to think at Woods

240
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 2>they're generosity and allowing us to be there and.

241
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Great they really are. It's amazing.

242
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they do the setup, they provide the hot dogs,

243
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>the buns, they provide a roaster, they provide the tables,

244
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:28.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, and they do this all at their own expense.

245
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's all free to nonprofits. I mean, we

246
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.759
<v Speaker 2>just provide the condiments and maybe chips. I think they

247
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.600
<v Speaker 2>even provide a soda. So we made a little over

248
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.120
<v Speaker 2>five hundred dollars. It went right into our community, which

249
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 2>is really great. And you know, one of the things

250
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 2>I was touched by was we have random people just

251
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.039
<v Speaker 2>come up to us and say, here's twenty bucks. We're

252
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>here's you know, ten bucks. We don't want a hot dog,

253
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.759
<v Speaker 2>We just want to contribute to you guys, and it just,

254
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, it really makes you feel good because we

255
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.919
<v Speaker 2>do believe in a very giving community, you know. And

256
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 2>that's one of the things I just love about Barbosville

257
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>is people when I see a need, they just step

258
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 2>up and they help out, you know.

259
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.679
<v Speaker 1>And it's good Sult of Earth people. Really.

260
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>So while dough to everyone who came out or helped

261
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.559
<v Speaker 2>us set up, who worked with sand. We had a

262
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 2>tremendous response among our volunteers and an excellent crew working

263
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 2>that day. I'm always impressed by the enthusiasm of our

264
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:17.919
<v Speaker 2>members and when there's work to be done, they step

265
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 2>up and do a great job, and it's really something

266
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.799
<v Speaker 2>to be held. We can't forget to mention Delaware Days,

267
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 2>which is a couple of weekends ago. I say the

268
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>Stomp Dance on that Saturday and evening. It's a two

269
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.960
<v Speaker 2>day celebration of Delaware culture, traditions and history.

270
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm always impressed with a turnout of these events. It's

271
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>encouraging because you'll sit.

272
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 2>There and you'll watch some of these dances, and up

273
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>at the very front you'll see like maybe a bench

274
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>of kids that are, you know, younger than twelve years old,

275
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, you know, you guys, this is the

276
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.799
<v Speaker 2>next generation that's coming up, you know, And I just

277
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 2>love seeing that because they are embracing their culture, they're

278
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 2>learning about their culture, and they're going to be carrying

279
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 2>on those traditions when they get older. You know. I

280
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 2>just really I said, and I look at that. I

281
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.399
<v Speaker 2>think that's a wonderful thing to see.

282
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>It is.

283
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, before we go today, we have a few announcements.

284
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Don't forget to check out our Cherokee community.

285
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Facebook pages for the latest events, news and meetings, Washington

286
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:17.679
<v Speaker 2>County Cherokee Association, Cherokee Cultural Center, and Dewey the we

287
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>a Community Foundation in the Native American Fellowship in South Coffeeville.

288
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:23.799
<v Speaker 2>I encourage everyone, whether Cherokee or not, to find a

289
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.720
<v Speaker 2>community and get involved. As with many organizations, and I

290
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:29.080
<v Speaker 2>see this across the board, whether it's Kawanas, the Church,

291
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:32.759
<v Speaker 2>whatever membership is aging, and we really et younger people

292
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.080
<v Speaker 2>step up and take over some of these activities because

293
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.519
<v Speaker 2>it helps carry on our cultural traditions and our language

294
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.000
<v Speaker 2>before they're lost. I mean, they're going to be the

295
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 2>keepers of all this, you know. I'd like to see

296
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 2>the wider community engagement when it comes to our youth.

297
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:50.120
<v Speaker 2>This is something concern to every one of our Cherokee associations.

298
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 2>It's something we have a chair of Washington County Cherokee

299
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 2>Association or addressing through attracting new members or we're trying

300
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:57.039
