    Cherokee Nation Osiyo, First responders from 50 northeastern Oklahoma fire departments have increased life-saving abilities after receiving new portable defibrillators from Cherokee Nation and Cherokee Nation Businesses. During the next two to three years, the tribe and its business arm will provide Automated External Defibrillators, or AEDs, to fire departments within the tribe’s 14-county jurisdiction. The first 50 departments were selected at random and received their new devices recently. Earlier this week, Cherokee Nation announced that it will install storm shelters in its Head Start campuses after recently receiving an $800,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The above-ground storm shelters will protect nearly 300 toddlers, preschoolers and staff at seven Head Start sites from severe weather and will be used as multipurpose facilities at the centers, as well. Wado. Cherokee Nation awarded $800K grant to build Head Start storm shelter...

I can’t believe what Paul Ryan just did.   Moments ago, he announced that Congress won’t bring up legislation to ban bump stocks before leaving town on Friday.   He’s blatantly ignoring calls from Democrats AND the American people who are demanding action to curb gun violence.   Larry -- I’m sick and tired of Republicans failing to do what’s right.   Will you sign your name next to mine and demand Republicans finally take action against gun violence?   Time and time again, we’ve watched Republicans stay silent on gun violence prevention.   But enough is enough.   I need 1,5OO,OOO grassroots supporters to sign on and make their voices loud and clear before Congress leaves on Friday.   Will you add your name and demand Republicans take action on gun violence prevention immediately?

               Osiyo -  The Cherokee Nation recently took a major step towards a stronger and brighter future for our health system. By boosting the compensation of the doctors and other health care professionals who care for our Cherokee people, we have laid a stronger foundation for consistent quality care. The professionals in our system are responsible with caring for our patients. They improve, and literally save, so many Cherokee and Native lives each year. The new plan increases pay and incentives for doctors and advanced providers. The increase includes raising base pay, about a $35,000 increase for physicians in primary care, as well as providing a quarterly incentive based on work quality. Under this plan, every physician and advanced practitioner will see a raise. It will raise the threshold pay to the region’s market rate, which will affect about 120 doctors and advanced level providers who administer care in the tribe’s nine heal...

               Osiyo - Tulsa is the heart of Indian Country in America, and I applaud the city’s leaders for adopting Native American Day on the second Monday in October. This move is important and the right thing to do. Tulsa has been and will always be shaped by the tribes that live in the region. It is part of Cherokee Nation’s history and jurisdiction. Almost 35,000 Cherokees live in the Tulsa area. Tribes, including the Cherokee, Osage and Muscogee Creek, have lived and embraced this region prior to statehood.    The city of Tulsa, the state of Oklahoma and our country itself should recognize this truer and more accurate celebration of life, culture and influence. Native people had a history and heritage in the Americas long before Christopher Columbus ever set sail. Proper historians know that Christopher Columbus did not discover America. The truth is that he committed atrocities, including slavery and genocide, against Native peo...
