About us: Upon settling in Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) after the Indian Removal Act, the Cherokee people established a new g

overnment in the town of Tahlequah, I.T. A constitution was adopted in September of 1839, 68 years prior to Oklahoma’s statehood. Today, the Cherokee Nation is an active leader in education, housing, vocational training, business and economic development. With more than 11,000 employees, the Cherokee Nation and its subsidiaries are one of the largest employers in northeastern Oklahoma. The tribe has a positive financial impact of more than $2.16 billion annually in the state of Oklahoma. More than 141,000 Cherokee Nation citizens reside within the 7,000-square-mile, 14-county reservation that covers most of northeast Oklahoma.

📸 Scenes from this morning’s pastors meeting at the Durbin Feeling Language Center! Cherokee Nation Deputy Principal Chief Bryan Warner, Cherokee Nation Deputy Secretary of State Canaan Duncan, and Secretary of Veterans Affairs S. Joe Crittenden enjoyed breakfast with Cherokee pastors, speakers and second-language learners from across the reservation.

They had a time of prayer and Bible study, along with singing and listening to Cherokee hymns. What a great morning of fellowship and community! ❤️

Cherokee Nation leaders recently joined the tribe’s Community and Cultural Outreach department in Salina to sign a lease agreement with representatives of the CCO group the Old Saline Cherokee Association (OSCA) and the city of Salina.

“This lease signing is so much more than just signing a lease. This means organizations like the Old Saline Cherokee Association and the city of Salina will have a place for their efforts and aspirations to grow. This building will truly be a community hub not only for Cherokee citizens, but all citizens in surrounding areas. We are proud of this partnership and thrilled to see the positive outcomes in the future,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr.

📸 Scenes from our summer camp at the Greasy Immersion School! ☀️

Nearly 30 campers — ranging in age from 11 to 19 — come from surrounding communities in Adair County and have been learning basket-weaving techniques, playing basketball, harvesting and cooking their own squash from the Immersion School’s garden, and immersing themselves in our beautiful Cherokee language! Some of the campers come from Cherokee-speaking homes, while some are new to the language.

On Thursday, the Council of the Cherokee Nation approved and Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. signed into the law amendments to the Durbin Feeling Language Act creating a new internal advisory board and program to maintain accreditation through a qualified third-party accrediting body. The amendments also transition the current state charter school board to a new internal oversight body, the Cherokee Nation Immersion Education Advisory Board.
