Fire at the Tribal TOP Building - What Happened to the Records?

Cherokee Police Chief Ben Reed reported that a fire occurred at the Tribal Operations Program (TOP) building in the early hours of this morning. Arson is suspected, but that's all the police are saying at this point. This building houses resolutions, ordinances, either passed or killed, those vetoed with it being upheld and those that overrode vetoes to become tribal law. This building housed valuable information going back decades. I hope none of this information was destroyed, but that hope likely isn't realistic.
The only motivation had to be to destroy information. If it was aimed at Tribal Council or the chief, it would seem that the Council House would've been the more logical target. This makes me sad, and angry. Those records belonged the people, and quite frankly TOP should've been provided with a better and more secure location in order to protect those documents.
Reed made this statement, "A criminal investigation is under way and every effort will be made to find those responsible for this crime. If anyone has any information about this, please contact the Cherokee Indian Police Department through the Public Safety office at 828-554-6168. There is a $5,000 cash reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible."
I can't express enough how much I've appreciated TOP. They've always been willing to find old resolutions, documents, etc. both when I was editor of the One Feather and at my own publication. The only time they wouldn't provide me with something was when it wasn't kept there, like some of the really old documents. TOP never refused a request to provide information, even prior to a tribal law requiring it.
To the ladies who work at TOP, I say thank you, and keep up the good work. You provide a most valuable service to the tribe, and I appreciate you.
