My name is
Doug "Two
Horses" Phillips
I was born
and raised in North
Louisiana. My
ancestors migrated from
Georgia, North Carolina
and Alabama. They
are of the Deer
Clan. In my younger years
my friends would make
sport of me saying one
horse was not enough for
me as I would wear it out
and I would need two
horses to keep up with
me, hence my name.
I am a
retired deep-sea
diver. I am a
former Marine
and Viet Nam combat
Veteran.
As a child I
hunted rabbits and set
traps, while my little
friends watched sports on
TV. My family still has
it's own ritual involving
the blood when a boy
makes his first kill when
hunting deer. So as a
child I knew I was
different than the others
as I was only comfortable
in the forest, as was my
father.
On my
mothers side my granny is
3/4 Cherokee and on my
fathers side, my grandpa
was 7/8's Cherokee. Only
enough Irish to carry the
Welsh/ Irish last name,
which is fine.
However with
no paperwork and being
young, out looking
for excitement, none of
this seemed to matter at
the time. In 1988 my
father died. That last
summer I spent every
moment I could with him
as we were close and
spent every spare moment
hunting, fishing, and
trapping together. He
told me before he died
that the only thing he
regretted in his whole
life was not listing me
and my brother as
Cherokee on our birth
certificate.
Admiring my
father as I did, and I
still do, I realized it
was the most important
thing for both of us. I
was glad to find Chief
Stone Bear and the
United Cherokee Nation
(UCN), for myself and the
memory of my father.
I am looking
forward to do whatever is
needed to move forward
with "The
Gathering".
