Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. and Deputy Chief Bryan Warner announced former District 5 Councilor E.O. Smith as the tribe’s Special Ambassador for Youth Athletics during a ceremony surrounded by youth.

Cherokee Nation can deliver a “wellness dividend” to citizens now and for generations to come. We just need to strengthen the Public Health and Wellness Fund Act.

For generations, the Cherokee Nation has prioritized education and worked to build partnerships that uplift our people and create a better future for Cherokee families and the communities we call home. One of the most enduring and important of those partnerships is with Northeastern State University. 

Join Cherokee Nation for the eighth annual Cherokee Day, celebrating Cherokee culture and tradition at the Eastern Trails Museum on Sept. 13. The family-friendly event begins at 11 a.m. with opening remarks by Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr.
