In 2005, an attorney/missionary/entrepreneur named David Jackson received,
what he believed to be, a Divine Commission to “help the Cherokee”. Typical to
his straight forward approach, he immediately began dealings with the Western
Cherokee Nation of Arkansas and Missouri. Finding insufficient common ground
among the Western Cherokee, he began a new group, known only as the 11th tribe.
David’s visits with the various Cherokee groups around the country revealed to
him glaring difficulties with their individual tribal organizations. It was at
that point that he and a few others with him created the Tribal entity that
became the United Cherokee Nation of Indians - Aniyvwiya. The name was chosen to
indicate our different approach to Native government while still showing our
connection to our Tribal roots.

Symbolism of The United Cherokee Nations of Indians-Aniyvwiya Emblem
Dreamcatcher
The dreamcatcher speaks of native heritage and the combined
dreams and aspirations of, in this case, The United Cherokee Nation of Indians.
Webbing
The webbing radiating out from the center like a spider web
speaks, on one level, of the ability to catch and hold those dreams. On another
level it symbolizes the interconnectedness of all life. As it stretches out from
the middle, it reaches toward the Ultimate, where all being and purpose
originate.
Circle
The webbing extends to a circle which is the circle
of Cherokee existence as well as the totality of creation.
Heart
The
heart in the center, of course, represents the Cherokee motto: Matters of the
heart. The Cherokee concept of “the right way” is closely related.
Seven
Star Points
The seven star points represent the different Cherokee clans and
the colors represent their different functions and responsibilities.
Laurel Branch
The laurel branch is a symbol for peace, which the United
Cherokee Nation of Indians desires. The crown configuration also denotes
victory, which we will always obtain.
Golden Eagle Feather
The feather
is that of the golden eagle which, from Cherokee antiquity, was the sacred
messenger between Earth and Sky. It is attached to the circle and the attachment
is terminated by sacred beads, showing our concern for the “right way” of
living, thinking and acting.
Colored Stones
The colored stones
enmeshed in the webbing mirror the star points and signify the various clans’
understanding of their position, importance and responsibility to The United
Cherokee Nation of Indians and, indeed, the rest of creation.
The flag is
white with the emblem on it.
