Our vision is to: This organization will be directed predominately by citizens of the Cherokee Nation. However, non-citizen Cherokees, family members, and non-Indians with an interest in the Cherokee Nation are also welcome to participate. Schedule of Regular San Diego Cherokee Community Meetings. Normally, the location is the Clairemont Community Center. 4731 Clariemont Drive. It's located in the Clairemont Town Square behind Vons. Sunday, September 21, 2008 - SDCC Special Event: 3-part special presentations on Cherokee identity issues by folks from tribal headquarters in Oklahoma. Time: 1pm - Location: Lemon Grove United Methodist Church - 3205 Washington St , Lemon Grove , CA 91945 The first presentation will be by Julia Coates on identity formation among the Cherokes. She will also talk about the Cherokee clan system. The second speaker will be Melanie Knight, who is the Secretary of State of the Cherokee Nation and she will talk about the hundreds of other "Cherokee" groups and why their claims are so problematic for CN. The third speakers will be the team of Gene Norris and Roy Hamilton who are genealogists for the Cherokee Heritage Center and they will talk about the Dawes Rolls and the questions/misconceptions they most often encounter around Cherokee identity claims. Roy also heads the new Cherokee Artists Association, so he may even be able to talk a bit about the identity issues that involve Indian artists and the Cherokee Nation's "Truth in Advertising" legislation as the group's members' reactions to it. Dessert and beverages will be served. .
