Chief New Moon (born Thomas Dixon)[1] was a Cherokee Indian chief who considered himself to be "a full-fledge National Socialist."[2] He was a popular speaker at German American Bund, Christian Front, and America First meetings. In August 1940 Dixon (Chief New Moon) was convicted for disorderly conduct and sentenced to twenty days in jail for his part in a rabble-rousing street meeting.[3] He often called for a National Socialist-Indian โentente against Communism.โ
He was a veteran of World War I and a charter member of the American Legion in Paris.[4]
After the war Chief New Moon--now using his original name--started the United American Veterans, Inc. organization. The group issued a four-page newspaper called United American Veteransโ Commentator.[5]
