![["The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, one of the Five Civilized Tribes, is making strides in government and industrial development to improve the quality of life for its people. They have a democratic tribal government and are focused on economic development through industry on Cherokee lands. The tribe has a history of resilience, including the Trail of Tears, establishment of a constitution, and achievements in education and agriculture. The Cherokee Nation owns tribal trust and government lease lands, used for grazing and some crops, with plans for development in two designated areas. Contacts for inquiries about Cherokee lands are provided."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Cherokee,%201946%20Jan.%20-%201978%20Aug.,%201946-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_30_13_0001_thumbnail.jpg "The Progress and Promise of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma")

![["The Cherokee Nation successfully petitioned the Indian Claims Commission for a settlement of $14,364,476.15 for land ceded in 1893.
