The American Civil Liberties Union has an interesting challenge on behalf of the Echota Cherokee Indian Tribe: contesting the need for a permit for a Powwow from Santa Rosa County for a ceremony on private land.

If the Religious right can claim that their churches don’t have to pay taxes even thought they are mixing politics at the pulpit, then the Indians don’t need a permit.
