Guest Opinion. The beating heart of Cherokee culture is when we can interact face to face with other Cherokees, appreciating and learning from each other across generations. Cherokee Nation is devoted to keeping this culture alive, in part by making significant investments in rural community centers. The recent grand openings of new community centers in Marble City in Sequoyah County and Kenwood in Delaware County are cornerstones in our renewed effort to support Cherokee families where they live and work.

Guest Essay. One hundred years ago, on June 2, 1924, the United States government conferred citizenship on Native American people by passing the Snyder Act, also known as the Indian Citizenship Act. Prior to that time, Native Americans had been explicitly denied citizenship—first in the United States Constitution and, later, through the 14th Amendment. However, while the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 ensured that all Native Americans born within the United States had citizenship, the Act failed to fulfill the promise of citizenship because Native Americans were not also granted voting rights. It would be decades before all 50 states granted Native American citizens the right to vote. And even today, due to the inequities that Native Americans endure when accessing registration, early voting, and Election Day polling places, the promise of full citizenship remains broken.

Guest Essay. I am a proud American citizen, committed to doing my part and to asking what it is I can do for my country. Yet it is difficult to view my present without considering my past – my entire past. So much happened leading up to the signing of the Indian Citizenship Act – the law which granted Native Americans in the United States citizenship – one hundred years ago this year. I am here because of the dedication of the ancestors and their instilling within me a sense of obligation to our community and our country.
