Cherokee Nation
When Cherokees were removed from our ancestral homelands, we carried with us a deep respect for natural resources and wildlife, both in our former lands and our new homes.
From the Trail of Tears beans and other precious seeds that were sewn into Cherokee clothes for that arduous trek, to the knowledge of how to effectively manage game and fish populations, this deep-rooted respect was necessary for our survival and integral to our culture. Hunting and fishing are not just Cherokee pastimes; they are intrinsic to our way of life.
For centuries, Cherokee Nation and neighboring tribes have maintained a profound connection to the land and its resources. Now, the historic Five Tribe Wildlife Management Reciprocity Agreement, unveiled recently at the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes, marks a pivotal moment for the Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Muscogee Nation, and soon for Seminole Nation as we mutually recognize one another’s hunting and fishing rights and licenses.
