Who We Are
In the early 19th
century, the
traditonal
boundaries of the
Cherokee began to
be pushed from the
eastern U.S., west
across the
Mississippi River to
Arkansas and
Missouri. Through a
series of moves by
the federal
government, the
Cherokee would be
moved again to
Oklahoma.
However, many
stayed on the
Arkansas River,
remaining on the
only lands the
Cherokee of
Arkansas and
Missouri ever
agreed to exchange
for.

Mission Statement Our goal is to be federally recognized as an Indian tribe in order for the people of the Cherokee on the Arkansas River to have many of the benefits currently received by other Native American groups. Some of our priorities include cheap and affordable health care as well as economic development, jobs, and financial stability for all the members of the Lost Cherokee. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

****************************************************************************** Lost Cherokee Brings Lawsuits Against Fraudulent Splinter Groups!!! The Lost Cherokee of Arkansas and Missouri otherwise known as the Cherokees on the Arkansas River or The Arkansas Cherokee Nation has formally served two splinter groups with circuit court complaints so that the in-fighting, bickering, and fraud can finally be brought to an end. The first group served is comprised of Bill, Harold, and Jennifer Helton of Conway, Arkansas as well as Al McKay of Oklahoma. In 2007 this group broke away from The Lost Cherokee and petitioned the government to be recognized as The Arkansas Cherokee Nation otherwise known as the Chickamauga of Arkansas. Not only did they steal our Arkansas Cherokee Nation name, they also were using our seal that was approved by vote of our tribal members. They have been given property in our name, set up shops in our name, and have held minor meetings to spread discord among our people. They were brought in front of the court on the 19th of May and the process of ending their hurtful actions to our tribe has finally begun. The second group that was served is based out of Dover, Arkansas. Spreading lies and slander for several years now and actually claim to be the Lost Cherokee throwing much confusion amongst our people. They used our name and symbols and even claimed to be headmen and councilmen. However, their time has also come. They were in court May 18th. This case was very important. The BIA has said we cannot move forward with federal recognition until they are stopped. Their group has now been dissolved. After five years and three months, many hours of motions and audits, all of the paper work, and all of the expenses, the court ruled in favor of the Lost Cherokee Monday, January 11th. The court ruled that the Lost Cherokee of Arkansas and Missouri, Inc. is a non profit mutual benefit corporation that exists for the purpose of assisting the "unincorporated non profit association in their effort to obtain federal recognition as a tribe". We are NOT federally recognized, however we are much closer to being so. *********************************************** |
