Guest Opinion. There are a lot of great things happening here on the Cherokee Nation Reservation. I write each week about the historic moves we’re making in housing, health and wellness, language revitalization, and more. But we know that a majority of Cherokees live beyond the boundaries of our reservation. That’s why it is vital for our tribe’s long-term success that we ensure that all Cherokee citizens, no matter where they live, remain connected to our tribe, our government and our culture.

This week marks a historic milestone, as the Biden-Harris Administration announced new, lower prices for 10 drugs selected for the first cycle of Medicare drug price negotiations.

Guest Opinion. Water makes up about 60 percent of a human body (varies by age) and up to 90 percent of some living organisms. The conventional wisdom still holds that you should drink eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day, but this can come from fruits and other foods with high water content.

Guest Opinion. The Cherokee Nation’s story contains more than our fair share of chapters where we struggled for survival. And yet with the support and sympathy from our allies, we continue to persist. We’ve faced forced removal from ancestral lands, health crises, loss of land and the power to self-govern, as well as a hostile federal government time and again.

Guest Opinion. At a conference last year, I experienced one of those moments when a thought-provoking comment pulls your mind far beyond where you currently are.
