GEORGIA TRIBE OF EASTERN CHEROKEE, ECHOTA FIRE
Headed up by William Taylor of Cherokee, N.C.

Dear friends:
It is beginning to be beneath me to continue this ridiculas tirade with the biggest crook in the south east, William Taylor, of Locust Rd., Cherokee, NC. (He lives on the Qualla Boundary. He is not Cherokee but is married to one) First, I would like to ask each of you a question, do you or your spouse work? Mr. William Taylor, neither his wife nor any of his brother’s work. They make their living as con-men off of many of you.. Conning people like you. They all drive new cars and trucks by suckering people who believe his many lies.
Ask your self how that can be?? I will tell you, by being the con-men that they are. We daily get inquires from people all over the country asking about their Georgia Cherokee benefits, promised by the Taylor’s to them. Of course they look up the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee and we receive their mail. Many have said that they intend to report the Taylor’s to the Postal authorities. I will be happy to mail any one copies of Newspapers in which Taylor proclaims himself as Chief of other Tribes in the country as well. See, all he has to do is get a copy of another tribe’s card and have it duplicated, with his name as Chief. One in particular which I was reminded of was a newspaper from Canada, where in Taylor claims to be the Chief of the MeHerrin Tribe of North Carolina, in addition to being the Chief of the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, Echota Fire UKB. I will be happy to send a copy to any one who requests it. The Canadian newspaper reported it all to the FBI of the U.S. It’s all in the newspaper, the complete story. To be a good con-man you have to be a slick talker, Taylor is that, a slick talker con-man. Remember Jim Baker of TV Evangelist fame. He too, professed to be a Christian, while stealing all he could from old women. He too was a slick talker. He was sentenced to many years in jail. Taylor tells you of a court document that he knows is totally false. He had his shyster lawyer draw up that document and had an eighty year old retired judge sign it. The shyster lawyer should have been reported to the State Bar Association. The true story behind that false and misleading document is that William Taylor got hold of funds belonging to the true Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, by fraud, and upon being dismissed from the rolls because he lied about his residency and his genealogy, he had the funds placed in a Bank under the false name of Ecohta Fire. When we learned of that, I was asked to try to recover the stolen funds from Mr. Taylor by attempting to intervene with the Bank he had deposited it in. Upon the trial however, the court had no choice but to deliver the funds that were still being held by the Bank, not by any one personally as he would have you believe, to the name of the depositor, that being the false Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, Echota Fire UKB. The Court then stated we could all fight over it in another court, that that question was not before him and he could not rule on it. We felt it was worth the $6,000 to hopefully get rid of William Taylor once and for all, but alas, that was not to be the case.
The shyster lawyer they used got $3,000 of the money good honest Georgia Cherokee people gave to purchase a meeting hall. Taylor had his lawyer alter the judgment to have it reflected that he represented and was the Chief of the true state recognized tribe in Georgia. The old Judge did not even read what was put before him to sign. Therefore it is worthless Judgment and by adding the ridiculas statement that the Echota Fire was the officially recognized Tribe in Georgia. NO Judge can alter the code section of Georgia recognizing the three state tribes. A senile one used by a shyster lawyer will sign anything. It is the lawyer who was at fault. The rules of the court are that the opposing party is to be shown the order that was drawn up by the opposing attorney. Their shyster lawyer did not do that. But par for the course, he had the Judge sign it without showing it to any one but William Taylor who asked that he draw up the spurious Judgment and make the changes. That is how such a document can and did come into being. Lets talk about the case where in Lumpkin County, Georgia; William Taylor was barred from ever using the name Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee in any form ever again.

Isn’t strange that he forgot to tell you about that case. It is styled :

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF LUMPKIN COUNTY

GEORGIA TRIBE OF EASTERN CHEROKEE
Thomas B.Mote, individually and as Chief of the Case No. 98CV DB
Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee

Vs

Johnny Chattin,William Taylor, et al

Stating that they have no authority to act on behalf of the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee and are hereby barred from ever doing so in the future. ETC.

Signed: The Honorable David Barrett, Judge

There are too many other Court cases that William Taylor has been involved in Georgia to list. Civil Action: No.98CV-392DB, the cases go on and on. Lumpkin County, GA.

William Taylor, his brothers, Frank and Alan and their co-conspirator John (Eagle Spirit) Campbell are at it again. Keep in mind that none of these men live or ever have lived in the State of Georgia. By building up their con-man scheme, they feel like they have struck gold and have in many ways. By making you believe that William Taylor is the true State recognized Chief of the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, Echota Fire UKB, he has manage to sell hundreds, no thousands of people false enrollment cards in the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, Echota Fire. He has even worked up a scheme to sell sub charters to wannabee groups, telling them that by paying him as much as $5,000.00 for the sub-charter, they have been brought under the Umbrella of the State recognized Tribe of Georgia. Then he sells each of their members a personal enrollment card for $120.00 each, like I said he has created an Illegal Gold Mine for him self and his brothers and John Campbell of Tenn. Have any of you his members ever seen or been told about all this money?? The answer is positively NO. Keep reading this site. We will reveal copies of these fraudulent documents.
For the record:

William Taylor lives on the Qualla Boundary in Cherokee, NC

Frank Taylor lives at: 1777 Country Rd 741
Henagar, Ala 35978
256-657-5094 the area code tells you where he lives. Yet he lies along with his brothers as shown on the Fake letterhead as living in Chatsworth, GA.
ftaylor@farmerstel.com
Please go to Godaddy.com
Look up Georgia CherokeeNation.com
You will see that it is registered to Frank Taylor of Alabama.

Note that this is part of his fraud, claiming to live in Georgia in a PO Box., located in Chatsworth, GA.
Also note the poll tax they charge to stay enrolled with them. If you do not pay it he kicks you out.
It is clearly stated on one of the documents that we include in this expose’
Also on this letterhead is a reference to the fact that they are federally recognized by the United Keetoowah Band of Oklahoma, again ALL lies. Impersonating a Federal Tribe.
A Federal offense.

Also included is a Forged Mohawk Council letterhead by William Taylor. Sent to us by the Mohawk Council themselves. Where Taylor was selling Mohawk cards.

Part of the Canadian Newspaper stating the fraud by William Taylor and others, where they turned it over to the FBI in the U.S. is also included here.

I am sure that many of you will recognize the names:
Norbert Johnsons:
Calvin Hall
Oliver Collins

Also following is pages 8 , 9,12 and 14 of one of the fake sub-charters he sells. Read it carefully, it puts William Taylor in charge of all the Tribes he sub-charters, as if under the laws of Georgia, code section 44-12-300.
Also pages from 7 and 10 of one dated July 26,2002

Mr. Taylor and many people who have posted on his site stating that The State of Georgia
gave recognition to all the states that once comprised the old Cherokee Nation. How ignorant can people be? Georgia has absolutely NO authority to recognize any one from any other state. The Georgia recognition bill was passed to recognize those Cherokee descendants still living in Georgia or those who can trace back to one of the legitimate rolls of Georgia Cherokees. Just like the Tenn. legislature cannot recognized anyone in Georgia by their own State recognition, if and when they ever do recognized anyone in Tenn. Each state has to recognize its own Indian descendants; William Taylor has no authority to do more than Georgia’s own state legislature. Just because they draw up a fake document proclaiming that they can, does not make it so. Who gave William Taylor the authority to amend the laws of the state of Georgia?? By changing the recognition process and attempting to change the name of the State recognized Tribe? Only the legislature can do that, not con-man Taylor. People, if you are Cherokee, you all are doing a great injustice to the entire Cherokee people in assisting Mr. Taylor in continuing to carry on these fraudulent acts.
The true Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee as recognized by the State legislature requires absolute proof of your Cherokee connection. Back to a legitimate Cherokee roll. Mr. Taylor group does not, because he cannot himself.
Mr. Taylor on his own home page attempts to pay honor to William Dover, our first Chief. Mr. Dover is still a member of the recognized Tribe. Look on the front page of the web site of the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, go to bottom of page and click on GTEC Notables. You will see that Mr. Dover is listed as the past chief for life, emeritus.
Also see Mr. Thomas Motes name listed as a member as well, also a past chief.

And yet in this exposé’s a copy of a newspaper clipping where Mr. Taylor states that he impeached Mr. Dover for theft and kicked him out of his tribe. Mr.Dover has never been a part of the fake Echota Tribe created by William Taylor.

With all this turmoil going on, embarrassing the State of Georgia. Mr. Sneed was appointed by the Governor of Georgia to attempt to get this mess straightened out.
We have exposed Mr. Taylors illegal exploits and he is fighting back as hard as he can. However, his continuing to do so will result in criminal charges being placed against him and his group for the continuing fraudulent acts by the state. All who support him are assisting and abetting him in his illegal activities and may be charged as well. Even if you live out of state. Mr. Meeks of Tenn. beware. You are walking on thin ice yourself.

MORE TO COME:  CHECK BACK SOON.
