Opinion. Two weeks ago on Saturday, the surprise attack in Israel by radical Hamas that left over 1,300 innocent Israeli men, women, and children dead stunned the world. On that Saturday, as stories emerged from Israel there were horrific accounts of women being raped, children being brutalized, and men being beheaded. It was a pure evil unleashed on innocent people.

Guest Opnion. In an age where cooperation is essential to address the many challenges facing our people, I am excited about a new agreement between the Cherokee Nation and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to open a VA clinic within Cherokee Nation’s Vinita Health Center. This historic partnership advances our commitment to ensure that all veterans, both Native and non-Native, can receive quality health care.

Guest Opinion. Last weekend, as news channels and social media were inundated with tragic reports out of Gaza, Australia’s electorate voted down a key referendum of vital concern to Indigenous Peoples the world over. The referendum would have created a national advisory board to counsel parliament on Indigenous issues, but 60 percent of the Australian electorate rejected what could have been an important advancement for Indigenous representation at the highest levels of government.

Guest Opinion. Four years ago, the Durbin Feeling Language Preservation Act launched Cherokee Nation on a historic journey to preserving and perpetuating the Cherokee language. Language has always been essential to our culture as Cherokee people, as it serves as the unbroken chain connecting us to our ancestors. We cannot afford to let that chain ever be severed.

Guest Opinion. The Cherokee Nation is blessed to include hundreds of thousands of individuals with great talents, potential and goals for their future. Our strength as a tribe is built on supporting each other to achieve these goals. That’s true today, just as it has been true throughout our history as a people.

Guest Opinion.  Forcing Indigenous children into boarding schools was a destructive policy implemented by the federal government that had long-term consequences causing multigenerational trauma. But it was not the only policy that wreaked havoc on Native Americans. Over decades, the government also forcibly changed the traditional dietary practices of Indigenous people, particularly the Three Sisters—beans, corn, and squash—to one that was unrecognizable and unhealthful. This injustice has contributed to the higher rates of obesity, diabetes, liver disease, and other ailments facing Native Americans today.

 Opinion. In 1599, Juan de Oñate, a Spanish conquistador who became New Mexico’s first colonial governor, committed atrocities against the Acoma Pueblo people. During his reign, the Spaniard directed the murder of nearly 1,000 Native people, enslaved Indigenous women, and ordered the amputation of 80 tribal men’s right feet.

Guest Opinion. As Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, I highly value the many partners ready to work with us in Oklahoma, both tribal citizens and non-tribal. Although a few have tried to destroy tribal sovereignty and reject collaboration with tribes, I have long suspected that position is unpopular among all four million Oklahomans.
