Checkerboard is a term where there are private parcels of land on the reservation. In the 1950’s there was such a place where a trading post was on the reservation. Burch’s Trading Post as it was called is approximately 9 north of I-40 on highway 371 – N, a landmark. We were able to secure a lease to purchase this historical landmark.
Our two fold mission of the old trading post was to establish a post to give out clothes in the forum of “The Clothing Barn,” and to establish a meeting place in the old trading post. We are hoping to have meetings for women, teens, men and families. We will also be able to distribute non-perishable food baskets from this location.
We have a year from June 2009 to make a final decision on the purchase. Please pray on the ability for us to make the purchase. Donations can help us do this; please consider how you can help in this matter.
