SUMMARY:

The Cherokee Nation recently renewed its motor vehicle compact with Oklahoma, allowing Cherokee citizens outside the Nation to continue accessing car tags. This agreement ensures funding for education, public safety, and infrastructure. It also addresses toll-related issues, reducing a potential $60 million debt to $2 million. Additionally, the Cherokee Nation launched the Cherokee Connect broadband initiative, investing $45 million to provide high-speed internet to over 6,000 rural households, aiming to preserve rural communities and cultural heritage. Finally, the Nation withdrew from the Tri-Council, a group with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the United Keetoowah Band, citing disagreements over historical claims.
