#OnThisDayInCherokeeHistory: Cherokee traditionalist Redbird Smith was born in 1850. Redbird Smith is known for having pushed back against assimilation during the allotment era and for encouraging Cherokees to remember and embrace the old ways. ❤️ Redbird Smith is still a celebrated figure to this day in the Cherokee Nation, especially among Cherokees dedicated to revitalizing Cherokee traditions, culture and language. The Redbird Smith Health Center in Sallisaw stands as a reminder of Redbird Smith’s lasting influence on our tribe and his contributions to making sure our cultural lifeways stayed alive during a time when Cherokee culture was being suppressed.

Tribal members and citizens of the Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Muscogee Nation and very soon Seminole Nation can utilize their tribal membership to enjoy hunting and fishing in participating tribes’ treaty territories. The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes announced the Five Tribe Wildlife Management Reciprocity Agreement at its July quarterly meeting at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa July 12, allowing hunting and fishing licenses issued through each tribe to be recognized by the other tribes that are party to the agreement, on respective reservation land.

On this day in Cherokee history, July 12 marks the anniversary of the signing of the Act of Union, an Act that unified two branches of the Cherokee people into a single Cherokee Nation government 185 years ago. Whether Western or “Old Settlers” or eastern Cherokee, those who joined together in 1839 were not just saving a government — they were ensuring our people, culture, language and traditions survived for generations to come. Because of them — because of the Act of Union — all of that has survived. We were unified once and for all, and every treaty Cherokee Nation had prior to that date remained in full force and effect. That is why, today, Cherokee Nation remains the same tribe with a continual and unbroken relationship with the United States. 🔗 Read the full Act of Union here: https://loom.ly/F7qzry8
