Our Community
CSWT is a community of Cherokees, registered and unregistered, family and friends, dedicated to Cherokee history, culture, heritage, tradition and fellowship. The CSWT community resides outside the historic boundaries of the Cherokee Nation and Bands. The CSWT community has come together on the basis of a shared history and heritage. They share an interest in the continuation of and a love for the Cherokee people, Nation, Bands, Towns and Communities.
The CSWT community is based on democratic principles, full and active participation in activities by all members, individual respect and inclusiveness. We respect and seek among our community member a wide variety of opinions, an array of life experiences and various types and degrees of Cherokee affiliation and interest in Cherokee matters. We can learn much from each other as well as from people outside our community.
Approval of membership applications is at the discretion of the CSWT Council and may not be appealed. The CSWT seeks to maintain a minimum of sixty percent (60%) of its total membership base as registered Cherokee Nation citizens. Membership in CSWT does not constitute, and is separate from, citizenship in the Cherokee Nation.
Annual dues are per household for members. This includes all adults over the age of 18 years living at the same address. Members participate fully and equally in all CSWT activities, including receipt of the monthly newsletter.
Dues are renewed and are payable each July. If joining in another month, dues are pro-rated quarterly for new applicants.
