Area Cherokee In Violation Of Indian Removal Act Of 1830

Letter below is a "spoof" of real American government past history toward Indians. But, is it past history? The U.S. Supreme Court just passed a law allowing the government to take your home and land "Now all Americans are in the same boat". President Bush while in office signed into law a bill allowing the sale of Indian land held in trust for pennies on the dollar.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) responsibility is the administration and management of 55.7 million acres of land held in trust by the United States for Indians. Indians have no trust in the BIA or the federal government to look out for them when it comes to their land or their tribal government sovereignty!! The new Indian wars are in state & federal government bills and U.S. Courts. Check out Indian Land Trust Case

We have to stay UNITED!! And take action on issues!!! United Native America

Area Cherokee In Violation Of Indian Removal Act Of 1830

December 7, 2005

 DAHLONEGA, GA—Authorities issued a warrant for the arrest and forced relocation of local carpenter and half-blooded Cherokee Indian Jonathan Silvers Monday, when he was found to be in violation of the federal Indian Removal Act of 1830.

Half-blood Cherokee Jonathan Silvers outside his soon-to-be-vacated home.

"Mr. Silvers is in violation of federal law," said Col. Jack Kippler, who is leading the Bureau of Indian Affairs case against Silvers. "For this reason, he was taken into custody, and he is currently awaiting forcible resettlement on a Cherokee reservation in Oklahoma by the U.S. Army."

Once in Oklahoma, Silvers and his wife and two children will be permanently housed in a trailer home.

According to Silvers' lawyers, the Cherokee Indian did not realize he was living in violation of the 175-year-old act signed into law by Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the U.S.

"When I told my wife that, under American federal law, we were going to have to leave everything behind and start over in Oklahoma, she was furious," Silvers said. "I blame myself: I totally blanked on the Indian Removal Act of 1830 when looking for a place to live."

The BIA is currently fielding applications from families who would like to live on Silvers' former land. According to Kippler, the Silvers' two-story, 1,600-square-foot house, valued at $145,000, would make an excellent home for a white family.

"It's a nice house," Kippler said. "They've taken very good care of the place, really shown it a lot of love. It has one and a half baths and a very nice finished basement with a TV den."

Army personnel say the Silvers will be given sufficient time to pack their belongings into the trunk of a police cruiser before they are escorted to their new and federally mandated homeland. Additionally, the U.S. government has taken responsibility for euthanizing the Silvers' dog, Spunky.

"I don't see the kids taking this too well," Silvers said. "Already, they're worrying about making new friends in Oklahoma... But what are you going to do? The law is the law." "They'll be in tears the whole car ride there, I expect," he added.

Silvers told reporters that his forcible ejection under armed guard could not have come at a worse time.

"We just ordered a new couch from Ikea," Silvers said. "Who's going to get that? The new white family? Maybe I can cancel the order."

Mark Twoblood, an attorney with the National Native American Bar Association, has reviewed Silvers' claim to the land and home he purchased in 1997, and he says there is little he can do under the existing law.

"I've submitted Silvers' case to the Supreme Court, but it is very unlikely that they will add it to next term's docket," Twoblood said. "I have done what I can. I would like to wish him and his family good luck in their new home."

Twoblood reportedly gave the Silvers a decorative dreamcatcher as a housewarming gift.
