Osiyo,

Time passes quickly! Even though it seems September has only just arrived, the month is nearly gone. Fall is officially here and several departments within the Cherokee Nation have set their fall schedules.

To be eligible for tribal membership in the Cherokee Nation, you must apply and be able to present a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood (CDIB), issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. For information regarding registration, including the dates and times of this fall's registration field visits, please go to http://www.cherokee.org/..Services/147/Page/Default.aspx...

The Cherokee Nation Higher Education department has a new name; it is now the "College Resource Center". To see the latest information on scholarship information, visit our webpage at http://www.cherokee.org/..Services/179/Page/Default.aspx...

The Cherokee Nation encourages every citizen to register to vote. Every single vote on any issue, no matter how large or small, is important. Just being a registered member of the Cherokee Nation does not mean you are registered to vote in tribal elections. For more information regarding registration, please visit http://www.cherokee.org/..Government/Election/Default...aspx.

 

Wado! (Thank you)
