Comments
I think UCITOVA should have da recognition
United States government as well as the Commonwealth of Virginia have long known of Indian people, including the Buffalo Ridge Cherokee in the state of Virginia. A federal document entitled "Surviving Indian Groups in Eastern and Southern States" attests to this on page 8 of that document. Local families, Indian and non-Indian are aware of this rich cultural history.
UCITOVA should have its well deserved recognition
