Mission & Purpose
Cherokee Community of Puget Sound (CCPS) is a community of Cherokees dedicated to Cherokee history, culture, heritage, tradition and fellowship. We are a non-political, non-profit Native American organization whose members reside outside the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation and Bands. As a community, we facilitate educational opportunities and Cherokee tribal gatherings for the purpose of learning more about our heritage and history and an opportunity to share knowledge and to create an inclusive community.
We are a satellite community of the Cherokee Nation and act as the official point of connection between the Cherokee Nation and its CCPS citizens.
