The Sovereign Amonsoquath Tribe of Cherokee... recognized as a Sovereign Nation by an agency of the U.S. Government... awaiting "eligibility for services from the Secretary of the Interior..."
...is led by a tripartite governing body consisting of Principal Chief, Elders, and General Council under a written constitution...
Paramount Principal Chief Martin "Walking Bear" Wilson, a descendant of Powhatan, Pocahontas, Dragging Canoe, Dr. John Wiggington on Stand Watie's Staff, and Dakota Chief Red Cloud through another family connection... and is the 13th hereditary "Werowance" since Powhatan, or Paramount Principal (Hereditary) Chief of the Amonsoquath Tribe of Cherokee. Anciently, the word Werowance was used instead of "Chief."
The Amonsoquath Tribe of Cherokee, before reopening its rolls recently, was of the "lost" Bear Clan of the Cherokee Nation. Our hereditary chief descends from Powhatan and Pocahontas, whose mother Amopotuskee was the leader of the Wild Potatoes Clan, another name for the ancient Bear Clan. Since reopening our rolls, we once again have the traditional 7 Cherokee Clans represented in our tribe.
About 1803, long after the Amonsoquath had relocated to what is now Missouri, the other Bear Clan relations in the Old Cherokee Nation changed its name to the "Blue Holly Clan." The United Keetoowah Band (UKB) of Cherokee Indians has restored its Bear Clan.
According to a statement made by David Cornsilk in the Cherokee Observer in 1997, is the most ancient of the Cherokee Clans. It is also the clan of most all of the surviving parts of the Powhatan Confederacy, like the Powhatan Renape, Monacans, and others - as well as many other Native American Indian Nations, and even ancient European societies.
If you are a decendant of Pocahontas, Powhatan, or a Cherokee descendant ineligible for enrollment elsewere, we want to explore the possibility of enrolling you in our tribe!
