HR458: HR458 Cheasequah Nation Day; February 24, 2025; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any state law. Instead, it honors Cheasequah Nation, a group describing itself as a tribal government founded in Atlanta in 2013, and its leader, Minister Amir C. El Bey, referred to as Chief Red Wolf. The resolution recounts the group's stated history, values, and affiliated organizations, including We Educate University and IHEA Ministries, and formally recognizes February 24, 2025, as Cheasequah Nation Day, marking the anniversary of the group's founding and Chief Red Wolf's birthdate. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to provide a copy of the resolution to Chief Red Wolf Minister Amir C. El Bey as a keepsake.

• Commends Minister Amir C. El Bey, known as Chief Red Wolf, and IHEA Ministries for their described contributions to education and community leadership.
• Designates February 24, 2025, as Cheasequah Nation Day in the Georgia House of Representatives.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Chief Red Wolf Minister Amir C. El Bey.
• Creates no new legal rights, funding, or regulatory changes; it is a symbolic commendation only.

The resolution directly names and honors Minister Amir C. El Bey (Chief Red Wolf) and the group Cheasequah Nation, along with affiliated organizations IHEA Ministries and We Educate University. It has no legal effect on any other Georgians or government agencies.

Because this is a ceremonial resolution, it carries no legal force and changes nothing about how Georgia law treats Cheasequah Nation or its claims to tribal sovereignty. Its main effect is a formal, public acknowledgment by the state House of the group and its founder.

• The preamble (whereas clauses) recounts Cheasequah Nation's self-described founding in 2013, its claimed governance structures, and its affiliated ministries and educational programs.
• The first resolving clause has the House of Representatives recognize and commend Minister Amir C. El Bey and IHEA Ministries.
• The second resolving clause formally designates February 24, 2025, as Cheasequah Nation Day.
• The final resolving clause instructs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to provide a copy of the resolution to Chief Red Wolf Minister Amir C. El Bey.
