Guest Opinion. Recently, Cherokee Nation First Lady January Hoskin and I attended the annual chili cook-off and advocacy day by the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy (OICA). We were happy to be at this event at the Oklahoma State Capitol, not only to enjoy the chili, but to support the important mission of OICA.

Guest Opinion. As a tribal nation, we become stronger when our citizens pursue training and education – and even more so when they use those skills and knowledge to serve Cherokees through our tribe’s government and businesses. With the launch of the Cherokee Nation College Internship Program, we are taking steps to help those rising Cherokees advance in their careers while helping our nation.

Guest Opinion. An international panel of scientists, on the verge of driving “a golden spike” into the heart of Mother Earth and Indigenous history, has shown wisdom in backing off on a premature declaration of human hubris and Euro-American cultural arrogance.

Opinion. Fourteen years ago this month, the South Dakota legislature passed an eleventh-hour proposal to change the state's statute of limitations on child sex offenses. The legislation made it impossible for any victim aged 40 or above to bring civil damages against people or institutions — including churches and schools — that should have known of the sexual abuse.

Guest Opinion. I know that the Cherokee Nation is a wonderful place to live. The people, culture and natural beauty of our 7,000-square-mile reservation in northeast Oklahoma make me proud to call it home. As more Cherokees choose to stay here or return from living in other places, our communities and economy will grow even stronger.

Guest Opinion. Cherokees are one people, and all Cherokee Nation citizens deserve equal treatment under our laws and the laws of the United States. That firm commitment to equality is clear in the Cherokee Nation Constitution, our tribal statutes, and the Executive Order on Equality that I first put forward in 2020 and expanded this year. All of these are firmly rooted in Cherokee values.

The sounds of night kept me awake on the hard floor in a large community center outside of San Diego at the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians. It was 13 years ago. Snoring and coughing mixed with the whispers of those who could not sleep merged together like an orchestra that lulled us to sleep. Dozens of us were tucked into sleeping bags scattered throughout.
