Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - THE RIVERA Cherokee Principal Chief's Fight for Family, Truth, and VindicationIn September 2015, Patrick H. Lambert was elected Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians with 71 percent of the vote - the largest margin in modern tribal history. Twenty months later, he was impeached.This is a story of resilience, integrity, and one man's refusal to be erased.Born on the Qualla Boundary in Western North Carolina, Lambert grew up in a cinder block house where two mountain creeks met, the son of a roadside chief who posed for tourist photographs and a mother whose quiet faith held the family together. He dropped out of high school, worked as an underground miner, earned his GED, and eventually put himself through law school at the University of NC at Chapel Hill. He returned home to serve his people.For twenty-one years, Lambert built and led the Cherokee Tribal Gaming Commission, building one of the most successful tribal casino gaming enterprises in the United States. He drafted the gaming regulations, negotiated the management agreement with Harrah's Cherokee Casino, and established the regulatory credibility that made it all possible.When he finally ran for Principal Chief, he won overwhelmingly on a platform of government transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption reform. He ordered forensic audits that uncovered millions in mismanaged tribal funds and referred findings to the FBI. The federal investigation that followed threatened powerful interests - and those interests struck back.Lambert was impeached in a proceeding conducted without formal rules, by Tribal Council members who served simultaneously as accusers, witnesses, prosecutors and judges.What followed was an eight-year journey through political exile, personal rebuilding, and legal battle. In July 2025, the Cherokee Supreme Court unanimously restored Lambert's civil rights, ruling that the lifetime ban imposed on him violated the Cherokee Charter.The River is a memoir about Native American leadership, tribal sovereignty, Indigenous rights, and the cost of fighting corruption in Indian Country. It is also a love story - marriage, family, and one man's unbroken connection to the ancestral land and people who made him.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. He was elected by the people. Removed by the powerful. Vindicated by the truth.What does it cost a man to stand on principle when everything - his office, his reputation, his family - is on the line?In the back rows, the elders sat calm and unmoving amid the tension. One white-haired woman met his eyes. She placed her hand over her heart and nodded once. Stay strong.Patrick H. Lambert was raised in poverty on the Qualla Boundary, left high school without a diploma, worked underground tunneling for a hydroelectric pump station, and served his country in the U.S. Army. Through determination and sheer will, he earned a Juris Doctor from UNC Chapel Hill and an advanced LL.M. in Gaming Law - and was ultimately elected Principal Chief of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians by an overwhelming margin.Then he ordered the audits.As financial records were opened and questions were asked, resistance grew.What followed became one of the most consequential - and contested - chapters in modern Cherokee governance.In The River, Lambert recounts the rise, removal, and ultimate vindication that defined his time in office. With clarity and restraint, he tells the inside story of the era when the Tribe entered gaming, built the foundations of economic self-determination, and established its first Per Capita distributions - decisions that permanently reshaped Cherokee life. He had spent twenty-one years helping build that gaming infrastructure. He understood exactly what the audits would reveal - and ordered them anyway.As Principal Chief, Lambert eliminated over one hundred twenty million dollars in Tribal debt, stabilized programs, strengthened families, and fought to establish transparency in a system where some had grown very comfortable in the shadows. When the political machinery moved against him, it moved fast and without mercy.But leadership during moments of change carries a cost. Lambert writes candidly about the pressure of governing in turbulent times, the strain placed on his family, and the isolation that comes from standing on principle while facing public accusation and political upheaval. Behind every difficult decision stood his wife and children, who bore the weight of a fight that was never supposed to be theirs - and never wavered.The enemies who moved against him believed the story would end in that chamber. They were wrong.At its heart, The River is three stories woven into one: an unprecedented look inside the inner workings of a sovereign tribal government, a love story about a marriage and family tested by forces most couples never face, and ultimately a story of rebuilding - a man, a reputation, and a legacy - when the truth finally had its day.This is also a Cherokee story. Not a story about Cherokee people told from the outside, but one written from deep inside - by a man who grew up on the Boundary, served his Nation, and refused to let its history be written by those who feared the truth more than they valued it.Supported by contemporaneous records - including audits, court rulings, and official documents - The River is both a personal memoir and a historical record of a pivotal moment in modern Cherokee history.For readers of political memoir, Native American history, and stories of leadership under fire, this book stands as a testament to resilience, responsibility, and the enduring power of truth. Cherokee Principal Chief recounts his rise from childhood poverty to elected leader, his removal from office after ordering forensic audits exposing corruption, and his ultimate vindication by the Cherokee Supreme Court.
