CN Supreme Court hears Freedmen ruling case

CORRECTION: In the April 23 story “CN Supreme Court hears Freedmen ruling case” that we published on http://www.cherokeephoenix.org, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages, we erroneously named Tribal Councilor Dick Lay as one of the two Tribal Councilors mentioned as a party to the ongoing Freedmen case, when in fact it was meant to state Tribal Councilor Harley Buzzard. After the error came to our attention, we pulled the story from any and all social media, as well as the Cherokee Phoenix website. We apologize on behalf of the Cherokee Phoenix and the Cherokee Phoenix Editorial Board to all parties affected, especially Tribal Councilor Lay. We regret the error.

TAHLEQUAH – The Cherokee Nation’s Supreme Court on April 20 heard arguments regarding Attorney General Todd Hembree’s decision not to appeal the federal case of Cherokee Nation v. Nash and Vann v. Zinke, which allows Freedmen tribal citizenship and rights.
