At the Summit, I will advocate for what Cherokee Nation needs to protect our sovereignty and what Cherokee families and communities need for health, safety and prosperity. Cherokee Nation will join other sovereign Indigenous nations to amplify our voice.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nAs sovereign nations, tribes can work directly with President Biden and other top U.S. officials on our shared goals in issues like health care, education and housing. Our unique access to federal officials during the White House Summit positions Cherokee Nation as an influential advocate for policies that benefit not only our citizens, but all of northeast Oklahoma.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cWe hope to see you all there\u201d: Rose Petoskey (Grand Traverse Band), the new Senior Advisor and Tribal Affairs Director at White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, announces White House Tribal Nations Conference on December 6-7 in Washington DC. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NCAI1944?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ncai1944<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NCAI80?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NCAI80<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WHTNC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WHTNC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DsanycXHTY\">pic.twitter.com\/DsanycXHTY<\/a><\/p>&mdash; indianz.com (@indianz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/indianz\/status\/1724100146097532971?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 13, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\nLast year during this gathering, which comes on the heels of Native American Heritage Month, we discussed key areas like public safety and justice, along with the protection of the Indian Child Welfare Act. In that first in-person summit since the COVID-19 pandemic, President Biden rolled out plans to increase federal agency consultations with tribes and to help revitalize Native languages.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nYes, we made progress in all these areas, but we have more work to do. The federal trust responsibility to tribes is a Constitutional principle that transcends presidential administrations and political parties. We know the U.S. government has yet to fully meet its trust responsibility, but federal policy has shifted toward supporting tribal self-determination to meet our people&#8217;s needs. That is a welcome departure from historical attempts by the federal government to suppress our culture and destroy our governments.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nCherokee Nation is committed to the government-to-government relationship at this Summit and throughout the year. We participate in numerous tribal advisory committees (TACs), where tribal leaders meet directly with U.S. agency leaders on matters crucial to our tribes.\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\nI recently participated in the Health and Human Services Secretary\u2019s TAC, serve as the alternate from Eastern Oklahoma Region for the Department of Interior Secretary\u2019s TAC, and chair the Health Resources and Services Administration\u2019s TAC. Cherokee Nation Deputy Chief Bryan Warner chairs the Centers for Disease Control TAC. These positions make sure our voice is heard in national policies around public health, the health care workforce, upholding treaty rights, and more.\r\n <p><\/p>\r\nBuilding on our successful participation in TACs, the White House Summit enables us to advocate for lasting changes that will resonate for generations. During the Biden-Harris administration and for all future administrations, tribal voices must have a seat at the decision-making table for any policies that impact our communities. Through collaboration and continuing dialogue, Cherokee Nation is helping the federal government at long last live up to its promises.\r\n<P><\/p>\r\n<HR><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-md-3\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/23\/chuckhoskinavatar.jpg\" alt=\"Chuck Hoskin Jr\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" class=\"rounded-circle\" \/><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-9\"><EM><A href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChuckHoskin_Jr\">Chuck Hoskin Jr.<\/A> \r\nis the 18th elected Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, the largest Indian \r\ntribe in the United States.
