To some of you,hose that don’t get or like my stuff, Iaven’t been gone long enough. To thosehat do, and you missed these insightfulords of wit and wisdom…I’m BACK!’ve started a couple of times, more thancouple, to put things down on paper.t’s time for me to offer my points ofiew for your reading pleasure.I want to start by saying thank youo the folks that offered prayers for myather during his illness. The source ofis malady could not be found or corectedat the Cherokee Hospital norould it be found in Sylva. Luckily heas admitted to the hospital in Chapelill where the doctors not only foundthe source but also treated it successfully,ensuring no relapses would occurand…he’s back on his feet again. Had myfather been treated in Durham, theywould have discovered that he is aTarheel fan, and the outcome would’vebeen different. Funny things happen inDukeBack Mountain. I want to addressanother issue regarding my father’s illness.As for those with conspiracy theories,would you like some salt, somebar-b-cue sauce, anything to help youeat those words?I was slightly perturbed by the weakvoter turnout this past November. As aresult of voter apathy, the Republicansgarnered a majority in the House ofRepresentatives and the Democrat majorityin the Senate was slimmed. Sincemost of my readers live on the QuallaBoundary, this should mean little to you.You either work for the tribe or the BIA,Letters PolicyThe Cherokee One Feather is available as a forum for any opinion or point of view concerningissues of general interest. Letters should be typed, exclusive to the One Feather.Letters must be signed and should include a name, address and phone number.

Or if youdon’t and you’re enrolled or marriedinto the tribe, then you can go to theCherokee Hospital for free. But, outsidethe Rez a lot of economically disadvantagedpeople are destined to get sickand suffer because they were not able toacquire insurance and choose a primaryphysician or they had to try to get enrolledin Medicare which screens peoplebetter than some of the mortgage companies,or they lost their jobs and insurance.The health insurance industry issimply a multi-billion dollar business,and they stand to lose a lot of proit forcorporate bonuses as a result of this law.The lobbyists of the healthcare insuranceindustry offer many perks to lawmakersand some, John Boner of Ohiocomes to mind, love the free perks, junkets,etc, that they receive. They are themain opponents, and by proxy, theirpuppets in elected ofice that stand tolose some of those corporate sponsoredjunkets to golf courses and parts unknown.For those of you who get our informationfrom the Fox News channel orRush Limbaugh, I’m sorry but this lawIS good for America. Why should thesick be held hostage by the insurancebusiness? FYI, there are no “death panels.”It’s nearly that time for the EasternBand to head to their polling places intheir respective communities and voteto elect a new Principal Chef, er…Chiefto lead us into the 20teens. I now know,inally, who is campaigning out thereother than the Emperor and the guywho makes more than the Emperor.Three other suckers… er …candidateshave tossed their hats into the ring. Let’sask the important questions of our candidatesbefore we cast our votes.1. Don’t we have term limits?2. Should any tribal employee, regardlessof position, earn a larger tribalsalary than the Principal Chief?3. Shouldn’t all candidates seek psychologicalevaluation?4. What does each candidate have tooffer that’s better than any of the others?5. Why would a person want a big redtarget attached to their backs?6. We need more per capita. What willyou do to address that?7. The tribe is in a deicit. How will youwork to get us out of the red ink?8. Our per capita needs to be removedfrom taxable status. Can you work withthat?9. We need qualiied people to promoteour powwow. Will you work withthat?see LEDFORD next page8 cherokee one feather THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2011

Did I mention per capita issues?We need to step back, take a close look, and then close our eyes and throw thatdart at the circle with the names.1. What more or little can you do to help/hurt us if we re-elect you?2. Will an activist with no tribal government experience be willing to listen beforeyelling?3 If we elect you, will you abide by the rules of the BIA right-of-way and removeyour encroachment?4 How will years spent as a government issue operative enable you to help thetribe?5 Can you last longer than the last female Principal Chief?Finally, I want to apologize to Ms. Nancy Longtongue. Ms. Nancy, I do apologizefor some harsh statements I made in one of my previous ramblings. I realized thatyou were doing the members of the Eastern Band a great service by revealing thenature of some of the inner workings in tribal government. We need transparentgovernment, and since no one in there wants to be upfront, we need your networkof diligent informatives. So, I would like you resume your writings to accompanymine because actually you’re better at this than me. I think I’m funnier, but youhave more insight. Nancy, please come home.THURSDAY, MAY 12, 2011cherokee one feather9
