#I ain't here to fight but we got way too many people that are reconnecting that are getting on the podium when they got no place to be

My name is soup. I am Cherokee and I speak a little Cherokee. I live in Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma. I like to make baskets and learn to speak our language. I'm always tired.

My grandmother ᏥᎨᏒ and the community I learn from speak a dialect, my Cherokee may not look like yours - it's an opportunity for us both to learn

I do not vet family history, I do not provide information for your world building/ocs, and I will not translate on request. If you are learning the language you may ask questions but I'm not here to teach anyone, I work a very stressful job and I live in the state of Oklahoma - I am selective about who I have in my space.

If you claim to be Cherokee and you have not proven your ancestry through our enrollment records (Freedmen excluded*) - I do not want you following me. First and foremost I am a Cherokee person trying to live and I will advocate against misinformation and false stories regarding our tribe and culture - this is how we protect our sovereignty.
