We are governed by a Chief, a Vice Chief, and a Tribal Council:

Chief Gene Norris

Vice Chief Mary Louise Worthy, Tribal Council Chairwoman

Victoria G. Norris, Treasurer

Melanie Riddle, Secretary

Dexter Sharp, Tribal Council Member

Mark Williams, Tribal Council Member

Harold Norwood, Appointed Tribal Council Member


Edwin “Medicine Bear” Clement, a former Tribal Council Member, passed April 9, 2013.



The Tribal Council meets every month, when possible. The meetings are open to the membership. For privacy concerns, an executive meeting may be called, and is not open to the membership. To speak at the tribal council meetings, you must call Vice Chief Worthy (864-683-1421) or email her at cherokeesister@msn.com ten days before the scheduled meeting, and she will place you on the agenda.
