Please Note:

The SKN has made the decison to no longer use cards as a means of identification of membership. All cards thus distributed should be destroyed or returned to the office.
Cards still out are NO LONGER valid.

This is not a club for you to join. We are a Band of self-identified Tsalagi who seek to establish a Traditional Tsalagi Band. This means, for some, having to rethink beliefs and customs which are not in accordance with tsalagi tradition.

If you enroll in this nation, please, prior to sending in your application, take up your applicaton and this nation with Creator, for we would hope you will have made a life long commitment once you send in your application and it is accepted. You may leave, however, we ask for a written letter of resignation for our records. We also ask that, if your application is approved, you do your part to make this a strong and traditional Tsalagi Band.

The Uku, Council of Advisors, and Council of Beloved Women call upon anyone of Tsalagi blood to come and rejoin your people. You are needed for a Band, Tribe, or Nation cannot exist without its people.
