Every
organization must have some form of governing body, and Native American
tribes are no exception. The form of government used in the Earth Band
is the traditional tribal council. This form of government dates far beyond
the beginning of Northern American Tribal recorded history. Through
periods of our history, the positions held by members of the council may
have differed, but the purpose has always remained focused. The
council's responsibility is to make decisions pertaining to the
well-being, betterment and protection of the tribal community.
Today, the council is responsible for those same things as
well as taking on modern challenges of managing the tribal treasury,
dealing with government agencies and other new issues that have evolved
with the development of modern society. The members of the Southeastern
Cherokee Confederacy Earth Band Tribal Council spend many long hours
taking care of the business needs of our tribe. With this page, we hope
to show them a small amount of the great honor they so deserve.
