Guest Opinion. As the vestigial frost from a northern-plains winter gave way to a new spring, a father and his family were forcibly removed from their home. While it may be assumed this removal was for something resembling property foreclosure, it was not. Rather, it was one of many forced removals and relocations of Native Americans by the U.S. that utilized cruel displacement from known and familiar lifeways, killing many through sickness and exertion.

Guest Opinion. This time of year, poultry gets a lot of attention, particularly turkeys. So I’ve been thinking about how we might do better than industrial farming, which is not only cruel but also creates conditions that make an outbreak of deadly disease inevitable, as demonstrated by recent avian flu outbreaks and the massive culling of birds.

Guest Opinion. Our duty to care for those who have served our tribal Nation and our country is among our greatest honors in Cherokee Nation. From historic military enlistment to modern-day participation and active duty, Cherokee men and women have always answered the call to protect our collective freedom. Native peoples and Cherokees serve in the military at higher rates per capita than any other group.

Guest Opinion. Last week, I was honored to testify before the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on the matter of Lumbee recognition. I am grateful to Chair Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) for holding a serious, measured hearing — one that created space for actual evidence to be presented. This is long overdue.

Guest Opinion. As Cherokee Nation citizens, we draw strength from those who came before us. Our elders are the foundation of our communities, the keepers of our history, and the heart of our families. As we gathered recently for the annual Cherokee Elder Summit, we renewed a promise to care for those who have showed us the way.

Guest Opinion. Critics have accused Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. of endangering public health by dispatching more than 70 Public Health Service officers to strengthen care in understaffed Tribal communities, claiming that Indian Country should not be a top HHS priority. These claims could not be further from the truth. Secretary Kennedy’s bold action affirms HHS’ commitment to Tribal communities: we will bolster the Indian Health Service (IHS), revitalize Tribal healthcare, and ensure that Indian Country receives the caliber of medical support it deserves.
