Cherokee National Holiday is right around the corner. First observed in 1953 to commemorate the signing of the 1839 Cherokee Constitution, Cherokee National Holiday has grown into an annual celebration of Cherokee history and culture.

Held during Labor Day weekend, citizens and visitors gather in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, for the Inter-Tribal Powwow, traditional games such as cornstalk shooting (pictured here from 1980), art shows, artisan markets and cultural demonstrations. More than 70 years later, Cherokee National Holiday remains a powerful expression of the Cherokee Nation’s enduring sovereignty.
