Our Sovereign Land
The Cherokee Nation is committed to protecting our inherent sovereignty, preserving and promoting our culture, languages and values, and improving the quality of life for our citizens and for all of Indian Country.
Ensuring we do what’s right for Tribal Nations
The Supreme Court’s McGirt v. Oklahoma decision recognized what Indian Country has known all along: that our land is our land. Now, the Cherokee Nation is hard at work to protect our sovereignty while fighting for the public safety and legal cooperation we need in the wake of the historic decision.
