Throughout history, Cherokee Nation leaders have placed a premium on intellect and resourcefulness. This legacy has empowered our people to rise from adversity and emerge stronger.
Even as we faced severe persecution leading up to the Trail of Tears, Cherokees learned to read and write at levels higher than our non-Indian neighbors. We used literacy and education to preserve our culture and advocate for ourselves in the law and public opinion.
Misguided groups once upon a time weaponized education to erode our culture, but our resilience triumphed over the trauma of boarding schools. Now we have reclaimed education as a tool for empowerment. Our scholarships and educational investments are directly linked to Cherokee Nation’s past growth and future success. Education remains key to ensuring Cherokee children grow into prosperous, successful leaders.
Recently, the Cherokee Nation approved its largest-ever investment in education, with the Council of the Cherokee Nation unanimously endorsing the Sequoyah Schools Capital Plan.
