Chief Randy TwoBears Standing Tate was born in Wichita Kansas, main family originally was from Nowata Oklahoma. Moved to Wichita when father was transferred from McDonald Douglass aircraft in Tulsa Oklahoma to Boeing aircraft in Wichita Kansas during World War II around 1944-1945. Randy's mother stayed at home and raised six kids, Randy being the youngest. He went to elementary school in the west side of Wichita, and then the family moved to Andover Kansas in 1962. Because of the school boundaries

and zones at the time where they lived, placed Randy in Augusta High school where he graduated in 1967. After graduation, he immediately went to work to help support his mother and family.

He married and had 3 children 2 boys 1 girl, went to work eventually for Beech Aircraft now called Raytheon Aircraft in 1972. Divorced and remarried, now married to present wife Kathleen ShaunaSay WhiteFeather in June of 1997 in a fully traditional Cherokee wedding. She came from North Carolina, where she was raised in and around Cherokee North Carolina Indian reservation.

Both, Randy and ShaunaSay's families are Native American, and have always been heavily involved into their heritage from early childhood.

Both Randy and ShaunaSay, believed in full recognition and acceptance of the mix-bloods of different Nations and Tribes, instead of being pushed aside and snubbed by the bloods in certain circles, and to have the right to belong.

So began the formation of RedNation of the Cherokee.

Randy, based on his bloodline alone, he knew then that he would have to be presented to the elders of the Cherokee people East and West. They determined if he was worthy and of a true heart to step out before the people, as a Chief and a leader and direct decedent of the main MoyToy bloodline.

Which with documented and written proof of such dating back to the late 1500's to AmaToya, the Uku (High Chief and Priest) of the Tsa la gi (Cherokee) people on his Mother's side. On his father side, to the late 1800's to Chief Quanah Parker of the Comanche Nation.

With the blessings of the elders, and complete agreement of all in attendance at the birthday of the RedNation of the Cherokee September 1998. Randy Two-Bears Standing Tate became the Chief he is today, leading not just the Cherokee, but all mixed-bloods of all Nations and Tribes to a unification of the original peoples.

This all being for a common purpose to preserve the combined knowledge, morals and customs of a not-so-long ago past, and bringing those fragments into the future for our children and grandchildren. For those grandchildren and so on to carry into their futures before our generations and theirs are lost forever preserved under glass at some museum.

I would like to share my lineage to all or any that is interested in my lineage or being of Native Indian Blood and now days there are some that need proof before they except it as truth. I'm very fortunate and Proud of my Descendants.

Kathleen ShaunaSay WhiteFeather Franklin Tate

Kathleen ShaunaSay WhiteFeather Franklin Tate, born where her father was stationed in the Navy at the time, in Pensacola Florida. Then after she was 1 1/2 years old, was moved to Asheville North Carolina where she was then raised by her father's parents. Went to Hawk Creek school through half of the second grade, then Grandparents moved to Oakley community in North Carolina right outside Biltmore village in Asheville. Finished Elementary school at Oakley Elementary, then attended A.C. Reynolds High School. After Graduation in May of 1974. Moved to Waynesville North Carolina, then enrolled at Western Academy of Hair Design in Asheville to become a beautician. Graduated 1976, worked as a beautician for about 5 years. Then did a major career change, and went to nursing school at Haywood Technical College in Clyde North Carolina and been in the nursing field since then.

Always involved in her Native heritage with her family at an early age, learning from her elders and family throughout her life in and around the Indian reservation in Cherokee North Carolina, attending many Native functions throughout her life to present day.

Then taking more of an active part in her Native dancing, she started dancing more and more in many of the eastern pow wow circuit. It was not until later in life she became an accomplished competition dancer in the ladies' traditional southern cloth and buckskin division.

She was from the age of 5, taken under the wings of the very respected Elder Charles Walkingstick her mentor.and adopted grandfather.

He did his best to pass on all his teachings to her before he took his journey.

Walkingstick for years was the main Storyteller in the reservations' living village open to the tourists. He.also at that time period, was in fact one of the main medicine men & holy people there.

He traveled great distances in all of the surrounding areas, to help and heal many people, physically and spiritually.

All her experiences has been a very honored and heavy responsibility to continue to carry on throughout her entire life and to pass on.

This person was a very special and very loved by so many of all age groups man.

NOTE: By the older ways of beliefs of the Native people, it is usually not proper to speak of the dead openly in such a way.

There is no disrespect intended by no means by breaking this hoop here, and to speak of such a great man of our people. It is by the utmost respect and honor his name is proudly given in remembrance.

The two Randy & ShaunaSay, was married in a traditional Cherokee wedding June of 1997, and together East and West were merged together through their union!

Then with the full blessings of the Creator and Elders, they went through all the proper channels, to step out and start a first of its kind, full fledged Multi-Intertribal Nation in September of 1998.

Added Note: When the Creator has a plan for your life, not always do you know His blueprint ahead of time!

HEAD OF THE WARRIOR SOCIETY

Osiyo! I am Billy D. GrayFeather Miller. I am honored with the position as Chief of the Warrior Society of this Great Nation. I am of Cherokee, Natchez and Lakota blood.

I have served in the U.S. Marine Corps. Also, I have world wide recognition and certification as Grand Master 10th degree black belt in Commando-Kai combat Ninjutsu.

While tracing my family tree, I had in mind to apply for a tribal card in a federally recognized nation. When I came across the RedNation of the Cherokee, and read about what this Nation stood for, I knew then this was where I belonged.

This Nation is based on true traditions, to this day I have no regrets.
