Cherokee Nation s nominee to serve as the tribe s delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives is hopeful she could be seated in Washington soon. I anticipate this administration supporting a delegate to Congress and I anticipate us getting seated this year in this session, knock on wood, Kimberly Teehee, Cherokee Nation s director of government relations, said on a Thursday virtual forum hosted by Cherokee Nation Community and Cultural Outreach.
Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. nominated Teehee for the post in 2019, citing a right granted the tribe under the 1835 Treaty of New Echota with the federal government. That is an effort that we will be pushing even harder in 2021, Hoskin said Thursday. She needs to be seated in the United States House of Representatives. If you want Congress to get better, then our delegate needs to be seated, because she will make Congress better.
