Week of July 20, 2014 Cherokee Nation Program Structure The Cherokee Nation government is a tripartite government meaning it is divided into three branches of government. The Tribal Council is the Legislative branch. The Executive Branch is the Chief, Deputy Chief and staff who execute the programs. The Judicial branch makes sure everyone else behaves. For Cherokee Nation citizens seeking services from the Tribe, an understanding of the Tribe's structure is a benefit. Tribal Council has six Standing Committees which oversee the budget and performance of all Cherokee Nation Departments. Education Committee hears from Talking Leaves Job Corp, Career Services, Vocational Education, Higher Education Scholarships, Head Start and Sequoyah High School every month with written and verbal reports as well as time for questions from each Councilperson. The former Language, History and Culture Committee was folded into Education. Community Services which includes the former Tribal Services Human Services Department, Community Services such as At Large Outreach and former COTTA grants, Housing Services, Roads and Transportation, Public Comments on Road Projects, Commerce Housing which is the Mortgage Assistance Program. Health Committee hears directly from Claremore Indian Health Service (IHS) Hospital CEO George Valliere and Director of Cherokee Nation Health Services Connie Davis. All written monthly reports are available online.
Rules Committee provides oversight of the Marshal Service, Office of the Attorney General, Codification of Tribal laws, Tax Commission who collects the hotel taxes, Tribal car tags and more, Tribal Self-Governance, Gaming Commission, Tribal government's Human Resources. Executive and Finance (E&F) Committee is everything financial which impacts the Cherokee Nation and our businesses. E&F, now, includes the former Employment Committee which focused on Cherokee preference also known as the TERO law. Specifically, E&F receives reports from the Tribal Treasurer, Cherokee Nation Businesses CEO, Tribal TERO office and Commerce on commercial lending, small business programs and more. I am a member of every Standing Committee with close to 100% attendance since taking office in 2003. The monthly meetings require reading three inches or more of reports and legislation, each month. For agendas, meeting minutes, meeting video, laws, calendar of upcoming meetings and more, go to cherokee.legistar.com.
