Cherokees vote to display Ten Commandments
'We are sovereign nation and can pretty much post anything we want'
© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
If you are nostalgic for the days when the Ten Commandments were posted
in
public buildings, you might want to consider visiting the Eastern Band of
the Cherokee Indians.
The tribal council is making plans to mount a copy of the Ten Commandments
in the council house where government meetings are held, and possibly
display them throughout other public buildings in Cherokee.
The idea was introduced by Councilwoman Angela Kephart last month. She said
the tribe should display the Ten Commandments out of respect and devotion
to
God. The motion passed unanimously.
"We aren't saying you have to abide by the Ten Commandments," Kephart
said,
according to the Smoky Mountain News. "We are simply displaying God's
Ten
Commandments. That's what He expects from each and every individual. If you
break that, it is between you and God. It is not between you and the tribal
council; it is between you and God."
There is no First Amendment issue involved, and even if the American Civil
Liberties Union wanted to make one, it can't. The U.S. Constitution does
not
apply to Cherokee, nor to any other Native American tribe for that matter,
according to Cherokee's Attorney General David Nash.
"We
are a sovereign nation and we can pretty much post anything we want in
our council chambers," said Kephart. "For once the federal government
is not
going to tell us what to do. We can feel good about it because we are
standing up for God. The more it becomes controversial, the more we need
to
stand firm."
Kephart was clear about her desire to promote Christianity.
"God has blessed our tribe," she said. "We
have a very rich tribe, per se.
We are operating on over a $200 million budget thanks to our gaming
enterprise."
Posting the Ten Commandments doesn't prevent others from practicing their
religion, explained Nash.
"Anybody can practice any religion they want to practice," Nash said.
