We are one of the largest employers in northeastern Oklahoma. We are the largest tribal nation in the United States. The Cherokee Nation is committed to protecting our inherent sovereignty, preserving and promoting Cherokee culture, language and values, and improving the quality of life for the next seven generations of Cherokee citizens.
