No.
BTW, I believe the positions of Director of Indian Affairs is vacant. We do have an Interior Secretary though.
Please ping. This is soooooo sad. I felt it though, I just knew Obama would get his hands into everything.
A interesting comment. In fairness, I added the Czar comment, she didn't. But she qualifies. I've posted a couple threads on Czars today, we actually have more than the Romanovs produced in 3 centuries.

“A nation within a nation. Its what the muslims want and the hispanics want and it has NEVER worked. Tribal governments are some of the most corrupt entities around.

Just a note. This does not mean the Cherokee, or any ethnic group should give up their ‘cultural heritage’, religion, etc. I enjoy and practice much of it. It was part of my upbringing, however I learned the real history instead of only the ‘victim’ viewpoint. I’m talking about governments. Any nation within a nation does not work and the US government handling of the native tribes has proven this.
