Clearing up confusion about The Modoc Nation

This should not need to be said but apparently we still have a problem with a person named Perry Chesnut (two eagles) calling himself an Adopted Modoc and Acting Chief of the Modoc Nation. He was removed from office on 2/22/11 as secretary of state for breaking The Modoc Nations constitution and insubordination. He was then dis-enrolled on 3/7/11 for lack of proof on his so-called adoption and fraud.
He has never been legally adopted into the Modoc Tribe and was never an elected official of The Modoc Nation. He has caused some confusion and is saying he still represents our Nation. He does not represent us in any shape or form and is not part of The Modoc Nation. We are sorry for any confusion he has created, but he has committed fraud and fooled us at first too.
To clear things up, if you have been misled and fooled into enrolling in Mr. Chesnut's group (so called, Modoc Nation). Please contact us and we will enroll you into The Modoc Nation if you have modoc ancestry. Please contact: Gerry Milhorn at fancyfeather8@hotmail.com or modoc-nation@hotmail.com. to enroll in The Modoc Nation.
We have a Chief that was elected into office on June 19th, 2010 , his name is Chief Greywolf, Jeff Kelley and is still in office. We have most of our Elected Officials from June 19th, 2010 election in our Government.
The Modoc Nation is alive an well!

Thanks for your understanding & Gelidanka -Welcome!
