Nonprofit Overview

Mission: The Sovereign Amonsoquath Nation was founded in 1593. It was incorporated, in its 400th year of existence as a Cherokee band/tribe, as a Missouri non-profit 501(c)3 corporation. The tribe's goals are reassertion of its sovereignty through promotion of international awareness through the United Nations Charter, education of its children, care of its elders, social progress, cultural and ethnic awareness, community housing development, indigenous language, tribal arts, training of "Adawehis" or Spiritual Leaders (medicine men/women) and economic development.
The Tribe has sought federal recognition since 2/17/95 through legal avenues that are now available, but progress promises to be slow, and is actually being hampered by our strong case for political sovereignty under international law. In other words, politics.
Since the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (which the Amonsoquath were unable to take advantage of due to conflicting state laws), economic viability for Indian tribes seem to follow "federal recognition", and this historic tribe needs revitalization now before the practical and spiritual knowledge of its elders is lost through their passing.
