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.

Guest Opinion. In the 183 years since New York became a state, a governor has never visited the Seneca Nation territories. Governor Kathy Hochul, who is from Hamburg, a short 23-mile jog up the road from Cattaraugus, made a historic visit to the Seneca Nation to make history in two, maybe three ways. On May 20, Hochul made an apology to the Seneca people for the state’s 72-year operation of the Thomas Indian School on the Cattaraugus territory, a boarding school that overwhelmingly contributed to the destruction of Seneca families, culture, and language for 102 years.

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.

Together, we highlight a crisis that continues to devastate tribal families and communities nationwide, and the Cherokee Nation is no exception.
