about us
We are a Non-Federally Recognized Tribe
Chief Dragging Canoe never signed a Treaty with the United States Government and therefore the Tribe remained non-federal.
The Chickamauga People have remained free for all these years and will remain to do so. We have our own government which is made up of our Principal Chief, Vice Chief, War Chief, Beloved Head Mother, Medicine Man, Faith Keeper, 7 Clan Chiefs and 7 Clan Mothers. The language of the Thunderbolt People is an Ancient Cherokee dialect which is close to the Eastern Band dialect of the Eastern Band Cherokee which live in Cherokee, North Carolina.

Since we are an independent Tribe we have to rely on ourselves to obtain our own land for our people to set up our own "Reservation" which will hold our Government Building, Tribal Police Headquarters, Museum, Farmer's Market, Planting Fields, Fire Department, Native Church, School and Tribal Store, plus an area for housing for our people.
