Guest Opinion. Time is not detected by the five senses, yet it is something we sense. Some can wake up at exactly the same time each day, to the minute. One of our five senses does not detect time, yet we must have one. Time does dictates how we spend our days and our lives.

Guest Opinion. On August 14, 2019, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the Cherokee Nation. My oath requires me to defend against the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians’ attacks on our sovereignty and treaty rights with the United States. In seeking an amendment to a federal statute, I am defending our Nation just as Chief Wilma Mankiller once did.

Guest Opinion. Altruism is helping without a benefit and sometimes at a risk to one’s self. Animals helping others of their own species makes sense to perpetuate the species or help continue their own genetic line. However, when animals help humans (the apex predator) it seems a bit more unexpected.

Guest Opinion. For generations, the Cherokee Nation has prioritized education and worked to build partnerships that uplift our people and create a better future for Cherokee families and the communities we call home. One of the most enduring and important of those partnerships is with Northeastern State University. Together, our two entities, both based in Tahlequah in northeast Oklahoma, are writing a new chapter of shared progress.

Guest Opinion. A foundational Cherokee value, known as “detsadageyusesdi,” is to be stingy with one another’s existence, like a mother is with her child. It is no coincidence that when Cherokees think about love and caring for one another, we connect immediately to the bond with our children. They are our most precious responsibility, and they carry within them the future of our Nation.

Guest Opinion. I just want to wake up one day without having to deal with another story that reminds me how invisible or disposable non-Natives still think we are. I want to live in a world where we’re not constantly fighting for the basics: to remove racist mascots, to keep our Ancestors’ remains out of museum basements, to protect our kids, our lands, and our lives. Support for Native Nations continues to be cut or ignored; healthcare funding slashed, Bureau of Indian Education budget decimated, Tribal colleges defunded. Sacred sites are opened to extraction and industry while the few staff working inside institutions to make change for Native Peoples are fired or pushed out. And now, even our burial sites are reduced to entertainment.
