Expanding Food Security And Protecting Cherokee Elders

As Cherokee Nation citizens, we draw strength from those who came before us. Our elders are the foundation of our communities, the keepers of our history, and the heart of our families. As we gathered recently for the annual Cherokee Elder Summit, we renewed a promise to care for those who have showed us the way. That promise is taking shape through a major expansion of our elder nutrition services, backed by up to $2 million from the tribe’s Public Health and Wellness Fund. This investment will expand food access, create new nutrition sites, and strengthen support for Cherokee elders across our 7,000-square-mile reservation in northeast Oklahoma.

The Fortieth Annual Remember The Removal Bike Ride

Twelve cyclists from the Cherokee Nation will participate in the 2024 Remember the Removal (RTR) Bike Ride this June, retracing an estimated 950 miles along the northern route of the Trail of Tears by bicycle. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the inaugural RTR Bike Ride in 1984. The ride spans from Georgia to Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma over nearly three weeks. “The Remember the Removal Bike Ride is an incredibly powerful way to honor the sacrifices and perseverance of our ancestors on the Trail of Tears,” Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. said.

Cherokee Nation Helps Launch United Nations’ International Decade Of Indigenous Languages

The Cherokee Nation hosted the launch of the United Nations’ International Decade of Indigenous Languages in Tahlequah last week. The three-day event featured language leaders from around the world, both in person and virtually, to share information and best practices on language preservation efforts. The 10-year initiative continues the work of the United Nations General Assembly’s 2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages, drawing attention to the critical loss of Indigenous languages and the urgent need to preserve, revitalize and promote them. Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. opened the event with a welcome, and Special Envoy for International Affairs and Language Preservation Joe Byrd offered a blessing.
