Cherokee Community Loses A National
Iconic Treasure
It is with profound sadness that Colorado Cherokee Community reports the passing of our esteemed friend and revered elder, John Clifford Gritts (1947-2025).
We extend our deepest condolences to John’s beloved wife Page and to the entire Gritts family. Today we lost a distinguished friend, mentor, educator, statesman, artist, and an extraordinary Cherokee leader.
Fires will burn for three days.
