Cherokee National Holiday - Labor Day 2008

I'm in Tahlequah, Oklahoma visiting friends and attending events for the 56th annual Cherokee National Holiday. Tahlequah, Oklahoma is where the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, Western Band, resides. Cherokee Nation is the 2nd largest tribe here in the U.S. with over 200,000 enrolled tribal members.

The Holiday is a great time to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, and get a taste of Cherokee culture. Tomorrow is Principal Chief Chad Smith's State of the Nation address. Good stuff.
