Wednesday, September 2, 2026 Cherokee Cherokee tribe Cherokee Nation Cherokee government
When we speak about the Cherokee Nation in northeast Oklahoma, we must speak in the present tense. Cherokee people are not remnants of a culture that disappeared into history, nor are they figures confined to museum exhibits, historical markers, or stories about the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee Nation is a living sovereign government, a community of more than 470,000 citizens worldwide, and a cultural homeland whose institutions continue to influence northeastern Oklahoma.
