FORMS
THE OATHS OF OFFICE ARE INCLUDED HERE
The person swearing in is to affirm that they have reviewed the documentation that this person is both qualified to serve and selected to serve in accordance with the handbook of the Constitutional Cherokee then they are to administer the Oath, and then a Prayer is to be said.
We will be posting the forms here as they are supposed to be forms not just info about forms
so we need images scanned
and it can be done but right now we are focusing on the other sections so right now this will wait
since a letter written on a chapter's letterhead/stationary can serve in the place of a form as long as it contains all necessary information and is properly witnessed, signed, and notarized.
