First Nation Church - American Cherokee - Native American Religion
The Spirit of the Red River Valley With more than 1500 recognized tribal members, the United Red River Band (URRB) is the largest Native American organization in northeast Texas, with the majority of its members claiming residence in adjoining Lamar and Red River counties, just below the border with Oklahoma. It is estimated that as many as 40,000 certifiable descendants of Red River Cherokees are scattered throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada.
The URRB is singularly incorporated to uphold and advance the interests of its people, not only within its sovereign district but wherever they may have settled. Having originally been forced from their historic homes and lands in Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas by the United States government, the Cherokee exodus and diaspora found the people — many of whom had built large houses and owned sprawling commercial businesses — required to live on the desolate plains land in the Southwest, primarily in Okl
Subsequently, many Cherokees refused to continue on the forced march along the "Trail of Tears" and evaded the marshalling parties of the U.S. Army, settling instead in the verdant Red River Valley of the Texas Republic, which had only recently declared independence from Mexico.
