As part of its Black History Month observance, Cherokee Nation announced its production company, Cherokee Film Productions, will soon release a feature-length documentary exploring the highly-charged topic of Cherokee Freedmen, offering a sneak peek with a first-look trailer.

Sequoyah High School junior Peyton Proctor has earned regional recognition in the Cox Mobile Phone Case Design Contest and is now competing nationally for a $25,000 college scholarship.

Each February, we pause to honor the achievements and enduring contributions of Black Americans. At the Cherokee Nation, Black History Month also calls to examine our own history honestly and to commit ourselves to telling the full truth about who we are.
