<\/p>\r\nThe Cherokee Nation<\/a> is launching a program to provide up to $1 million in incentives for productions filmed on the tribe’s reservation in Oklahoma.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nAccording to Cherokee officials, the program is the first of its kind<\/a> for a tribal nation. The goal is to bring more creators — especially Native ones — to the 14-county reservation in the northeastern part of the state.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\u201cSince establishing our film office, we\u2019ve worked diligently alongside our state and local partners to help grow the film and television industries in Oklahoma,\u201d Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. said in a news release<\/a> on Tuesday.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n \u201cThere are substantial benefits in launching this powerful economic tool within the Cherokee Nation Reservation,\u201d Hoskin said. \u201cIn addition to expanding career opportunities for Indigenous filmmakers, producers, directors, actors and behind-the-scenes crew members, this new incentive program reinforces Cherokee Nation\u2019s commitment to creating quality jobs and supporting small, family-owned businesses within our tribal communities.\u201d \r\n

<\/p>\r\nThe Cherokee Nation Film Office<\/a> will accept applications starting March 1. Incentive funding increases for productions that utilize tribal citizens, as well as those utilizing Native-owned businesses.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nThe program will be funded with a total of $1 million on an annual basis, tribal officials said.\r\n
