Guest Opinion. We are learning when the U.S. government entered into trust and treaty relationships with Indians Tribes as sovereign nations, the federal government instead used much of the money held in trust for Native people to forcibly relocate their children to boarding schools. The goal was to assimilate them. Many children never saw their families again, some died from malnutrition or disease or abuse, and others were taken at such a young age they no longer knew their families, languages, or homelands.

Guest Opinion. May is Foster Care Awareness Month, a time when we at the Cherokee Nation reflect on one of the most profound responsibilities we carry as a community: caring for our children. This commitment is deeply rooted in our history and core values. We often say that children are the future, but I firmly believe they are also the measure of our present success. When we fail to protect and support our youngest and most vulnerable, we fail as a tribe. We cannot afford to do that.

Opinion. The Washington Post headline from last Monday—“White South Africans arrive at Dulles as refugees under Trump order”—immediately caught my attention. The article reported that approximately 50 White South Africans, known as Afrikaners, were admitted to the United States as refugees under a humanitarian designation made possible by an executive order signed by President Donald Trump in February.

Guest Opinion. Across the Cherokee Nation Reservation, the summer months are a time of family vacations, community festivals, and many other opportunities for Cherokees and our friends and neighbors to gather together. Just as important, the season is an important time for our tribal nation to live out the value of ensuring our most vulnerable citizens, including elders and youth, always have access to healthy, nutritious food. These programs provide more than just meals; they deliver on the promise of a responsible government to serve its citizens with compassion and vision.
