Cherokee Nation Names First Delegate To Congress

The Cherokee Nation is set to have a representative in the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time, as promised by a 200-year-old treaty. Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. emphasized the treaty's sacredness and nominated Kimberly Teehee as the delegate. Teehee, who served under President Obama, awaits Congress's approval. The role is expected to be similar to non-voting representatives from Washington D.C. and U.S. territories, allowing participation in debates and committees but not floor voting.
