LOCAL TRIBES SEEK INFORMATION

The Western Cherokee Nation of Arkansas and Missouri has recently begun working with an anthropologist to gather and write the history of the Cherokee in this nation. The tribe is asking anyone with stories, newspaper clippings or other information from the past 150 years to send this information.

Those having stories or information may contact April Rhodes, tribal delegate, or Diana Lawson at P.O. Box 256, jackson, Mo. 63755, of april_rhodes@yahoo.com or dianalaswson@hotmail.com.

Information or questions may also be sent to Principal Chief Lola Smith-Scholl at the tribal office in Arkansas, at 776 Hwy 351, Paragould, Ark. 72450.
