Question for anyone who is fluent in the #Cherokee (aka #TsaLaGi) language:

I'm looking for the words for Jew, Jewish, and Judaism. I've struck out with all of the standard dictionaries and lexicons, so instead I turned to the Cherokee New Testament (translated more than 100 years ago, so it has many words that aren't listed in dictionaries, and looked at some of the verses that use the word "Jew," in the hopes of figuring out which word is the right word.

I think I may have found it, but would appreciate if any Cherokee fluent folks could confirm this for me.

So anyway I think the word in Cherokee syllabary is: "ᎠᏧᏏ" but in phoenetics, it would be: "A-tsu-si"

This is great, well worth some time to listen to. It's rich with real Native culture, real Native people. No Lakotaman bullshit.

“In the dying days of the Biden Administration, the solicitor general at the Department of Interior issued a shameful and cowardly ruling that inaccurately and wrongly interprets the Cherokee Nation’s treaties. The solicitor’s opinion is unsupported by law and history, and is offensive to the Cherokee people."

Cherokee Nation Chief Hoskin issues statement on U.S. House passing Lumbee Fairness Act

Right now, there are at least 10 recognition bills sitting in the House - that's 10 groups who seek to bypass the OFA process. Today, the House said it's OK to do so. Where does it end? We will continue to speak out against these efforts, because federal recognition either means something or it doesn't.
