Welcome...
To the official web site of
the Western Cherokee
Nation Farmers, Craftsmen & Artisans Cooperative Association! The
primary goals of the Western Cherokee Nation Farmers, Craftsmen &
Artisans Cooperative Association are:
- To provide a
cooperative marketing environment for the membership.
- To promote the
culture of the Cherokee Nation through the membership body's
demonstrated talents and abilities in their chosen vocation(s) and/or
hobby or hobbies.
- To
provide a
socio-economic environment both receptive to and conducive to
individual members finding self-sufficiency in themselves, for
themselves and for their families.
- To
strengthen
the Western Cherokee Nation as a whole through a continuing and
sustained effort to build self-sufficiency into the culture while
simultaneously reducing the numbers of Citizens of the Nation that are
dependent upon government social support programs and aids.
- To
facilitate
the handing down of cultural knowledge and skills to future
generations, thus preventing said cultural knowledge and skills being
lost for all time.
