Cherokee Nation’s Talking Leaves Job Corps recently celebrated a new class of 73 graduates. The graduates met with Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. and members of the Council of the Cherokee Nation during the graduation ceremony. Family and friends gathered with them to celebrate the milestone.

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. participated in a historic signing ceremony Tuesday, Sept. 23, with U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to formally acknowledge the transfer of operations of the Claremore Indian Hospital.

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. 

The Cherokee Nation announced today a groundbreaking partnership with DreamWorks Animation and NBCUniversal to dub the animated film “How to Train Your Dragon” in the Cherokee language.
