Guest Opinion. Cherokee Nation remains deeply committed to protecting our culture, preserving our history and strengthening families for future generations. Across our reservation in northeast Oklahoma, we see both the resilience of Cherokee people and the challenges that still persist from generations of historical trauma. Among the most vulnerable are our children, who depend on us so that they feel supported and safe.

Opinion. Every decision made at the Cherokee Nation — whether it’s from me, Deputy Chief Bryan Warner, the Council of the Cherokee Nation, or one of the thousands of Cherokee Nation employees who work tirelessly for our tribe — focuses through the lens of our core mission: to perpetuate Cherokee culture and build stronger, healthier communities.

Guest Opinion. Only in America are we forced to celebrate the genocide of our own Indigenous people. The US Congress enacted laws to make our ceremonies, songs, dances and languages illegal and sent their soldiers out to find and kill us. They sought out the leaders demanding their heads, put out bounties and also for the women and children. Congress then passed a law to hold hostage and indoctrinate all the remaining Native children across America into government and Christian boarding schools. Many children died and were physically and sexually abused initiating the cycle of dysfunction on reservations replicating the social ills of this country.
