Guest Opinion. We all know that when disaster strikes, lives are upended. It is a basic duty of government to respond quickly and effectively in these types of emergencies. That’s why Cherokee Nation took a historic step recently by signing a first-of-its-kind agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to deploy our Cherokee-led Incident Management Team in disaster response efforts.

Guest Opinion. American Indian tribes and their federal contractors must not be included in any congressional or administrative effort to remove existing preferences in the SBA 8(a) program due to their unique and legally distinct status. Tribes are sovereign nations with a political, not racial, classification under U.S. law, a principle affirmed by the Supreme Court in Morton v. Mancari (1974). This foundational distinction underscores the government-to-government relationship between Tribes and the federal government and differentiates Tribal programs from those aimed at racial equity or diversity initiatives.

Guest Opinion. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), signed by President Gerald R. Ford on January 3, 1975. The act represents a clear shift from past federal policies of forced assimilation and paternalistic decision-making toward respecting Tribal Nations’ right to self-determination and empowering them to decide what is in their best interest.
