Latest Opinions

COMMENTARY: Party affiliation

In recent years, a number of us have been doing voter registration in Cherokee for county, state and national elections with more success in some years than others.   It is very important that Cherokees vote in these elections as what happens in the county, Raleigh and Washington directly impacts enrolled members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.  

COMMENTARY: Show me the commodities!

The Lloyd Welch constitution came from our desire to be free. It was a constitution because we wanted not to be governed, but to govern. Why allow us to then, decades later, throw ourselves under a charter?

COMMENTARY: UNC-Chapel Hill and Henry Owl – Let’s celebrate our steps but not forget the history

Earlier this month, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) announced they would be adding two new names to buildings on campus. They chose two trailblazers at the school. Hortense McClinton was the first Black professor at UNC. Henry Owl, a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI), was the first American Indian student to attend the university.

COMMENTARY: You should be able to see through it.

There have been good and bad days for the Cherokee press this year. While our Tribal Council and Executive Office have verbally supported the idea of transparency in government, everyone seems to have a different definition of the word “transparent”.
