Guest Opinion. Sometimes the truth is hard. For me, as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, this truth is not even a speed bump: The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma is an active threat to the sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation.

Opinion. Indian Country lost an American Indian Movement (AIM) warrior on Monday night. Many of us knew him as Wounded Knee, a nickname given to him by AIM co-founder Dennis Banks (Ojibwe).
