WE MADE IT!
After years of hardwork and hardship for all of us and by all of us; on December 20, 2012 at approximately 2:30pm we received our State Recognition!
We are now the State Recognized Sumter Band of Cheraw Indians. We made tribal status. No more being afraid and hiding. WE KNOW WHO WE ARE; NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS. What a way to bring in the new year!
Love to you all,
Ta Sit ca Pa Ta cee Wa

Together Again as One People With the Same Goals
It is with great pride that both factions are merging for the betterment of our people under the leadership of Chief Ralph Justice Oxendine. WE hope to get together very soon and talk to all members about this decision and how it came about. We would like to hear from all members and potential members; just keep it clean please. We have tried very hard to stick to that in the past. This will be the real test as to who has their heart in what we are doing. We have exciting plans and ideas that we need to talk to everyone about and ALOT of mending to do; so we are trying to come up with a date soon, very informal; to sit around in the circle and pray for guidance and wisdom. Please let us know by email at oxendineralph@yahoo.com to let us know if you have a particular date that would be good for you.

As we are working on our website; please keep checking on the calendar for upcoming events.

Young Warriors Society
The Young Warriors Society Outline

Who are you?
You are a son. You are a student. You may be an athlete, or a musician. You may be a brother; a grandson.

For most things in our life we understand who we are and how that affects our life and the privileges and responsibilities that come with being that person. As a son, you have parent(s) that love you, provide for you and to whom you depend. You have responsibilities to the family.

As a student you go to school, study, take tests, do homework (hopefully) and take part in the life of your school.

You understand what it means to be this person.

But you are more than that – You are Cheraw – a Native American.

What does that mean? How does being a young Cheraw man effect your life? What do you really know about being Cheraw? What are our beliefs, traditions, history? What responsibilities do you have as a member of the Cheraw nation? Is it just a matter of being able to say you are “Indian” or does it mean more than that to you?

The Young Warriors Society is a program we are starting for Native American boys ages 13 – 18. In this program we will be exploring what it means to be Native American and specifically a member of the Sumter Tribe of the Cheraw Indians.

We will explore our history, culture and traditions. We will learn to make items important to our people, such as our regalia and a longhouse or wigwam. We will learn different Native American Powwow dance styles and will participate in various powwows. We will also do things such as hiking, camping and canoeing. We will also learn what our responsibility is to our tribe and become involved in community projects to help our Elders and our Tribe.

We will learn what it means to be a man in the Sumter Tribe of the Cheraw Indians.

We want to start this either this weekend or next, depending on how many are interested. For registration, contact Claudia.
