Northern Cherokee Nation

A Message of Thanks from Principal Chief Kenn Grey Elk

I would like to thank everyone who came out to celebrate with us this past Saturday for our Powwow. We were truly blessed with beautiful weather, and I thank Creator for gifting us such a perfect day to come together as one Nation.

This year’s gathering filled our grounds and our hearts with incredible positive energy. The laughter, songs, drumming, and friendship created a powerful sense of renewal that will carry us forward. The spirit of our people shone brightly, and it was felt in every handshake, every smile, and every step of the dance.

I am so grateful to all who worked hard to make this event possible, especially those who set up demonstration booths and shared their time, talents, and teachings. You helped create an atmosphere where learning, tradition, and community could thrive.

A special thank you to our Northern Cherokee Nation family who joined us and participated, and to our family from Hawaii, Dr. David Flying Eagles, David Wind Horse, and their families, for traveling home to be with us. Your presence is always a blessing and Brings joy to our celebration.

From my heart, I also want to share how much it means to have our beloved singer Johnny and his family back with us. Your voices and your spirit lifted our Powwow to an even higher place of celebration and connection.

Thank you all for your prayers, your love, and your support for our Nation. Together, we are building a future filled with strength, pride, and unity. I am honored to walk this path with each of you.

With respect and gratitude,
Principal Chief Kenn Grey Elk
