Mount Tabor Indian Community

MTIC,

Please review the public address by myself, chair of MTIC, published today on YouTube, our social media pages, and within groups on social media exceeding 200k Native American people. I'm looking forward to working within our community to reestablish the truth of our community over the false narratives and the positives over the negatives in the upcoming months. For now, and perhaps for some time, I will need to continue my work with the various agencies listed in my address to not only rid MTIC of corruption but to protect us from being vulnerable to these type of negative actions in the future. While I do this work, I am asking MTIC to put forward in this group, at least 10 candidates for various governmental positions to begin to rebuild our administration moving forward. My first act after completing the current and ongoing investigation and the duties required of me related to this investigation, I will be assisting the MTIC as chair in holding open elections. This process will start as soon as the ten candidates are raised within the MTIC and thier names put forward in this group. Add your name below if you are willing to participate in rebuilding the MTIC government. Thank you to everyone who supported truth and transparency in these troubling times and to those of you who may have followed another path there are many roads home. It's time for our community to regroup, reshape, and be reborn, and celebrate what we really are, Native American people with a shared history, and leave behind any idea that we needed to be more than this to share in our beautiful heritage.

Sobering... not that long ago.

I’m proud to announce that Brave will be the first-ever film to shoot on the Choctaw Nation Reservation. This film represents a historic milestone for our Tribe. It’s a powerful step forward in our efforts to defend sovereignty, ensuring our stories are told authentically by our own people. It also provides a platform for Choctaws to see themselves represented on screen, fostering pride and connection to their heritage. Brave will be shot next summer and bring economic opportunity to communities in southeast Oklahoma, supporting local businesses and showcasing the beauty of our land.

Dear community, please do all you can to stop the false complaints leveled at our decades old Mount Tabor Indian Community governmental page. It seem backers of Jesse Thompson, since he has no control over that social media page, have made false complaint to Facebook that our old established page fake. Another tactic used to try to silence the voices speaking out in our community. Jesse Thompson and other would rather see the historic page taken down then allow it to be used to stand up to the injustices we are facing as a community. If they are successful it will mean the close of our governmental page and this group. I will be exposing all of this in a public statement I am preparing in unison with people associated the Federally Recognized Tribes, Native American advocacy groups, and the national news. We will not be silenced.

MTIC,
I've just received news that the reporters involved in the national story concerning the MTIC Grapevine statue unveiling are interested in offering me a full platform to make public statements regarding the new facts presented to the MTIC related to the Trotter/Bell connection and the history of the MTIC. I believe any possible and upcoming public statement should be formed within the spirit of and with the assistance of the full body of the MTIC. Please join me and invite others to join as we work in a free and open dialogue within the whole of the community and endeavor to move forward in addressing the needs and controversies we have faced as a community.
Each and every project put forward in the last 6 months that was stalled, stopped, or obstructed by any and all former or current members, has been reinstated and we can look forward to addressing any and all concerns of the MTIC as quickly and effectively as possible.
Look forward to new campaigns to re-aquire our ancestral cemetery and lands, tribal membership cards, the reopening of enrollment, a new MTIC website, and more!
As offically representing MTIC as chair, I am requesting that all enrolled members cease to participate in any group using MTIC intellectual property without authorization, namely the privately owned Jesse Thompson friend group using the name "Mount Tabor Indian Community." Jesse Thompson is using the MTIC name without authorization, in danger of legal action, and also as a suspended and inactive member of MTIC. We must not participate with any member not in good standing or suspended who may cause dessention within the official body of the MTIC. Please gather together your friends and family to join in the authentic community and add yourselves the numbers in this group who are pushing forward in the MTIC towards better and brighter days.
No more stalling! No more excuses! Just straight to the grind and addressing what needs to be fixed!
Cheryl Giordano, chair
