Celebrating Native Heritage Month
Tuesday, November 10, 2020
Cherokee Nation
As we enter November—Native American Heritage Month—it’s a good time to take stock of where we now find ourselves in this difficult year. Even though we are still weathering the global COVID-19 crisis, I believe our tribal nations stand stronger than ever. Celebrating Native Heritage Month means celebrating who we are historically, who we are today, and who we will be in the future.
Cherokee Nation Businesses’ Cultural Tourism Department plays a central role in helping the public reach a better understanding and respect for Cherokee Nation’s contributions to this country. Through managing our historic properties and museums, our tourism team creates a knowledge bridge to share our culture, language and stories in an engaging, accessible way.
Toward that end, Cherokee Nation recently acquired the historic Will Rogers Birthplace Museum from the Oklahoma Historical Society. Located in Rogers County in northeastern Oklahoma, the property spans 162 rolling acres of the original Dog Iron Ranch adjacent to Lake Oologah.

Chuck Hoskin Jr. is the 18th elected Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, the largest Indian tribe in the United States. He is only the second elected Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation from Vinita, the first being Thomas Buffington, who served from 1899-1903. Prior to being elected Principal Chief, Hoskin served as the tribe’s Secretary of State. He also formerly served as a member of the Council of the Cherokee Nation, representing District 11 for six years.
