is their any legal or non-legal mechanisms available for Cherokee people?

As individuals, no, as a Cherokee Nation, yes, because federally recognized Indian tribes are domestic dependent nations.  that means they are sovereign, yet Congress has plenary power over them.  So, in a nutshell, it depends on what type of legal mechanisms or non legal mechanisms you are looking for.  I'd suggest you read up on the issues via American Indian Law in a nutshell by Canby, or American Indian Law by Felix Cohen.

Not that I know of.  But there are countries that allow "naturalized" citizens to do so.  Canada, for one.

You may see some Cherokee dancers in regalia, but since there isn't a huge band of Cherokee in Michigan, I highly doubt you will see a Cherokee Pow Wow. A southern style pow wow, you will see further south as in Missouri, Southern Indiana, Tennesse, etc. \n\nYou can check the cherokee nation web site, as they list pow wows www.cherokee.org

Do you have a BIA card? You need to call your tribal government. They will be able to tell you what grants are available, but you will have to have proof that you are of a federally recognized tribe.

To my understanding, there is a treaty with the Seminoles of the Florida Evergrades in 1934, called  the Wheeler-Howard Act, or Indian Reorganization Act, which 'made life better for the Indians there'. That has not been broken. But, there were treaties with the Seminoles before that act which were broken.

Of course there is. If you don't know the ritual, then I can't tell you. You must learn it for yourself. Try calling the white house.

I am Cherokee, and I use to be a Preschool teacher. I have raised 4 children of my own. I am sensitive to how people use the Native ways to their own pleasure...the ti pi( our i's are ee's) thing is ok...but sit them down and share with them Native American Sites on your computer. There are many...just go to search and look for anything Native American...The more our young ones learn ...the better. You will do us proud too by doing this. Teach them the good in us. I think it might even be harmful if you did not let your child take part in this. Maybe you could suggest nice indian stories/and research how to make Native American recipes to share. Invite a Native American to come and share their story/life style with the children and Indian games. All these can be found on the internet..get busy...\ndo na da go hv i(doe-nah-dah-go-huh-ee)...til we meet again

For a question like this, you would really need to consult an attorney. I do not believe there are any definitive guidelines or laws for this. I know that in many situations people who were snatched and deprogrammed won judgements because their civil rights had been violated.

Hey Greasy,\nthis is Cherokee I wanted to let you know a few things and I am sure others will read this as well. When I asked a question about moving you was the one that came off with a smart mouth not me. You did say you was sorry  in some additional comments. In one of your other questions I replied to you as reporting you to customer service(which I did), but this was to the remark you made on my previous question.  I am not a kid and dont want to keep contacting  you playing  your games so lets make it clear just dont respond to me ever again!  Just grow up and calm down!!!!!

I am assuming you are talking about being an American Indian.\n\nIf so, the US government has a number of incentives in place to encourage members from this community to go to school, get a degree, and even start their own small business.

No, there aren't. I'm part Cherokee. I'm not from Oklahoma, but my mother was born in Poteau, and my grandfather was also from Oklahoma. The Cherokee Nation is in Tahlequah, OK.\n\nOklahoma has 39 federally-recognized tribal nations headquartered in the state, and ranks second to California as the state with the largest Native American population.
