Large, globalized companies come and go in search of a better deal. Especially in rural and small-town America, whole regions of our country have been left behind.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nIn this economic environment, having a partner deeply committed to a specific place is priceless. For northeast Oklahoma and the entire state, <a href=\"https:\/\/anadisgoi.com\/index.php\/government-stories\/1381-cherokee-nation-announces-impact-on-oklahoma-economy\">Cherokee Nation is that partner.<\/a>\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nThe Cherokee Nation arrived here almost 185 years ago, decades before Oklahoma was a state, and made this our forever home. From the beginning, we have invested in long-term growth. We do not outsource jobs or threaten to move our headquarters out of state. We are long-term partners with Oklahoma, a stabilizing force in unstable times.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\">Infographics: Cherokee Nation Economic Impact Report<\/div>\r\n<div class=row>\r\n<div class=col-6>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianz.com\/news\/2023\/04\/24\/chuck-hoskin-cherokee-nation-economic-impact\/cherokeenationeconomicimpactcovidrelief\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31845\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"31845\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2023\/08\/31\/native-america-calling-farm-to-school-success-and-a-former-chefs-new-book-on-the-menu\/swimhometothevanished\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/31\/SwimHometotheVanished.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1600,2400\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"Swim Home to the Vanished by Brendan Shay Basham\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Swim Home to the Vanished by Brendan Shay Basham&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/amzn.to\/45xYQkR&gt;Swim Home to the Vanished&lt;\/a&gt; by Brendan Shay Basham. &lt;a href=https:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/products\/swim-home-to-the-vanished-brendan-shay-basham?variant=40796338782242&gt;Harper Collins, 2023&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/31\/SwimHometotheVanished-683x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianz.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/31\/CherokeeNationEconomicImpactCOVIDRelief.jpg\" alt=\"Cherokee Nation Economic Impact\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31845\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=col-6>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianz.com\/news\/2023\/04\/24\/chuck-hoskin-cherokee-nation-economic-impact\/cherokeenationeconomicimpactreport\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31846\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianz.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/31\/CherokeeNationEconomicImpactReport.jpg\" alt=\"Cherokee Nation Economic Impact\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31846\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<figcaption class=\"figure-caption\">Source: <a href=https:\/\/www.cherokeenationimpact.com>cherokeenationimpact.com<\/a>\r\n<\/figcaption>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nThe newly updated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cherokeenationimpact.com\/\">Cherokee Nation Economic Impact Report<\/a> shows how powerful that partnership has become. This detailed study by the Economic Research and Policy Institute at Oklahoma City University shows Cherokee Nation and its businesses have a more than $3 billion annual impact on the Oklahoma economy. The report finds our businesses and government activities are supporting nearly 19,000 jobs.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nAs a sovereign government with a nation-to-nation relationship with the United States, we also received billions in additional COVID-19 relief funding during the pandemic emergency. Through strategic management of these funds, the Cherokee Nation was able to ensure employees never missed a paycheck, provide direct assistance to citizens, and support many community organizations. The net effect was an added $2 billion economic impact on Oklahoma, which helped communities get through one of the most difficult and disruptive economic crises in a generation.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nThe growth and prosperity of Cherokee Nation are an example of history repeating itself. We have seen our hard-earned wealth destroyed and our government and people suppressed, but we have rebuilt time and again. History shows that when the Cherokee people are allowed to govern themselves, great things happen.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\">Infographics: Cherokee Nation Economic Impact Report<\/div>\r\n<div class=row>\r\n<div class=col-6>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianz.com\/news\/2023\/04\/24\/chuck-hoskin-cherokee-nation-economic-impact\/cherokeenationeconomicimpactreporta\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31847\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianz.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/31\/CherokeeNationEconomicImpactReporta.jpg\" alt=\"Cherokee Nation Economic Impact\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31847\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=col-6>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianz.com\/news\/2023\/04\/24\/chuck-hoskin-cherokee-nation-economic-impact\/cherokeenationeconomicimpactreportb\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31849\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.indianz.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/31\/CherokeeNationEconomicImpactReportb.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-31849\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<figcaption class=\"figure-caption\">Source: <a href=https:\/\/www.cherokeenationimpact.com>cherokeenationimpact.com<\/a>\r\n<\/figcaption>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nAs the largest federally recognized tribe in the country, Cherokee Nation is committed to growing the economy, lifting our citizens and helping our friends and neighbors. Cherokee leaders in business and government have forged numerous partnerships to bring quality jobs, expanded services, better infrastructure and health care access to our 7,000-square-mile reservation.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nWe remain the market leader in entertainment and hospitality, and we have grown our federal contracting and other business ventures for a diverse, sustainable economic portfolio. We proudly reinvest our profits in services and facilities that make Oklahoma a great place to live and raise a family, for both Cherokees and non-Cherokees.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nWe also know we are strongest when all Cherokees have opportunities to bring their gifts and ideas forward. That\u2019s why we recently partnered with The University of Tulsa and StitchCrew on a Native American Women Entrepreneurship Accelerator program offered at TU this coming fall. \r\n<p><\/p><div class=\"mt-1 mb-1\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8411603009680747\" data-ad-slot=\"6394965691\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div><p><\/p>\r\nDeputy Chief Bryan Warner and I are proud to work with such great partners to help tap into the entrepreneurial spirit that we know is there.
