Yesterday, Cherokee Nation officials and representatives of the Gilcrease Museum gathered to celebrate the voluntary repatriation of the 149-year-old Cherokee Advocate Printing Press back to Cherokee Nation. “Like many tribes across Indian Country, the Cherokee Nation has been stripped of numerous historic belongings over the past century at the direction of the federal government, and in which are now in museums or collections,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. “It’s truly inspiring that Gilcrease Museum has voluntarily offered to return this historic piece of our identity to its origins, back into the hands of the tribe.” The printing press is permanently on display in the Cherokee National Supreme Court Museum in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, which is a museum operated by our cultural tourism team, who are dedicated to preserving and sharing authentic and accurate Cherokee history and culture through their many museums and attractions throughout the Cherokee Nation Reservation.

A day dedicated to recognizing, celebrating and thanking interns for all they do. 👏 We want to give a special shoutout to all interns across our businesses — Cherokee Nation Entertainment, Cherokee Federal and Cherokee Nation Cultural & Economic development.

We’d like to invite our current and alumni interns to share their favorite experiences, connections, memories and lessons learned from participating in the CNB internship program with us in the comments below! 👇 #MyCNBInternship #ThePowerOfPurpose

This week, the U.S. Economic Development Administration has awarded approximately $51 million dollars to the Tulsa Hub for Equitable and Trustworthy Autonomy (THETA) for the purpose of critical technology development projects estimated to bring in over 56,000 high-paying jobs to the Tulsa area. The THETA consortium is led by Tulsa Innovation Labs alongside a diverse steering committee that includes Cherokee Nation Businesses and other Tulsa partners across public and private sectors working to strengthen our region’s position as a global leader in technology innovation. “We're always excited to see a project such as #THETA that improves the regional economy and has the potential to help Cherokee Nation Businesses expand into the autonomous systems and component manufacturing industry, support growing defense and commercial needs and shore up critical supply chains,” said CNB CEO Chuck Garrett. “This project coincides with Cherokee Nation's approach to improve the lives of its citizens and strengthen the regional economy of northeastern Oklahoma.” Learn more about THETA and this historic investment in job creation and economic growth at: https://lnkd.in/gtrwfyTB

#CNBInTheCommunity Last week, Cherokee Nation celebrated the groundbreaking on the new park in Tahlequah named in honor of the late Principal Chief Wilma Mankiller. Revenue from our businesses support the development of the $10 million, nearly 15-acre park, which is tentatively scheduled to open the fall of 2025. “Breaking ground on the Wilma P. Mankiller Capitol Park is a very special occasion for the Cherokee Nation. This project will not only transform unused land into a vibrant community space, but it also pays tribute to a remarkable leader who shaped our tribe’s history as the first woman elected Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation,” Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. said. “Chief Mankiller’s legacy of empowerment, social justice, and community development will live on through this park, inspiring future generations of Cherokees. This investment reflects our commitment to honoring our past while building a brighter future for our citizens.” Learn more about park development in the link below: https://lnkd.in/geGCKGGu

This week, our summer interns had the opportunity to explore some of the cultural attractions and facilities that are a part of our cultural and economic development (CED) businesses.
