1
00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning. Welcome, welcome, welcome. It

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.559
<v Speaker 1>is time now for our community connection. Right here on

3
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>K one, the one you trust. I'm Tom Davis, and

4
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.439
<v Speaker 1>on the telephone with me we have the Principal Chief

5
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:18.519
<v Speaker 1>of Cherokee Nation, Chuck Hoskin, Junior and Chief. Good morning

6
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.559
<v Speaker 1>to you. Get enough rain over there in your area.

7
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>We have plenty, Tom, plenty, I can assure you a

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:25.199
<v Speaker 2>good morning to you.

9
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my goodness, you've been busy, busy, busy, busy, busy.

10
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>My goodness, sakes building bridges and a whole bunch of

11
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 1>other things. I guess we had you on one of

12
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 1>our news stories with the Double Creek Bridge project over

13
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>here in Washington County recently.

14
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was a really great project. You know, Washington County,

15
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of counties across northeast Oklahoma, have some

16
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.320
<v Speaker 2>deficiencies in some of the bridges, and so we worked

17
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 2>with the county. But we're able to secure one hundred

18
00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.439
<v Speaker 2>percent of the funding for this bridge. I think it

19
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 2>was open a million, only one point one million dollars

20
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 2>to replace that bridge at the time. That bridge probably

21
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 2>outlasts both of us because it's well built, and that's

22
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 2>good and what I shared at the event WITHDTH Commissioner

23
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 2>done lap is such a great friend of the Cherokees,

24
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.959
<v Speaker 2>is that, look, we ought to be bringing dollars home

25
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 2>for rural infrastructure because if we don't, a real infrastructure

26
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 2>is going to wither on the bud we can't have that.

27
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 2>So that was a great project.

28
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>A federal budget impacts, I think everybody is kind of

29
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>just waiting around to see what's going to happen. What's

30
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.799
<v Speaker 1>happening over there in the Cherokee Nation, Well.

31
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Big, big concerns on two fronts. One is what will

32
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>the budget look like? And the budgets that have been

33
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>proposed are not favorable to a lot of programs that

34
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I care about, and for that reason, a lot of

35
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.840
<v Speaker 2>people that I care about. I'm talking about proposed zeroing

36
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>out of h Heat low income heating program. I'm talking

37
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.000
<v Speaker 2>about bigger numbers, like the entire Department of the Interior

38
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>year has a thirty percent cut. Now, Department Interior is

39
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 2>our main interface, ours being the tribes with the government

40
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>the United States. Within that, as we're starting to look

41
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>at the budget proposal, it's got some pretty significant cuts

42
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>to bure of anian education. Of course, we run quite

43
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.639
<v Speaker 2>school on a contract in Burebandian education. It's got cuts

44
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>to public safety programs and everybody knows we've been trying

45
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 2>to step up public safety, law enforcement, and post MA

46
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>thod era. So that's concerning dropping self governance dollars. Then

47
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 2>elsewhere in the budget we've got the closure of job Corps.

48
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:38.879
<v Speaker 2>So let me if I could just break down two

49
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 2>things that I think are important for people to think about.

50
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>One is what does the budget look like? And then

51
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>that's a concern to all of us and ultimately Congress.

52
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Besides that, the President. Besides that, it'll be the result

53
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>of elections, and that's that's how the country works, and

54
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>that's how it should work. The concern I have, though,

55
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 2>time is the immediate termination of programs by the executive

56
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 2>branch of the United States that is causing some chaos.

57
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>In some cases, it's causing a lot of inefficiencies, and

58
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.439
<v Speaker 2>I think it's the opposite of what it's being billed as,

59
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>which is reducing spending and inefficiencies. Because let's take job

60
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Core for example, Tom right now young people at Talking Leaves.

61
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Job Corps were one of about one hundred contractors across

62
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>the United States that operates job Core because the administration

63
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 2>said we're shutting down job Core. We got kids scrambling,

64
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>and we're scrambling trying to get them home safe. These

65
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>are low income kids. They often face social and economic barriers.

66
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 2>That's the reason they're in job Corp, trying to better

67
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>their life. So I would rather be a debate about

68
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>job Core, debate about public safety dollars, a debate about

69
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.159
<v Speaker 2>low income heating assistance, and then decide, well, what's the

70
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>budget going to look like instead of what I'm seeing

71
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>in job Core is a great example of just an

72
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>immediate shut down that catches everybody by surprise and causes

73
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.479
<v Speaker 2>a lot of inefficiency because I've got staff Tom that

74
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 2>instead of teaching kids trades or getting their ged, they're

75
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>trying to get them bus rides home, and that that's

76
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>not a great use of onse.

77
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Boy. I understand that you had a visit by the

78
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department touring some of your facilities.

79
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>We did you know the first part of that, since

80
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Tom is scary got a visit by the Justice Department, Yeah,

81
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>that makes me that unless you you say the rest

82
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 2>which you did, which is to talk about travel sovereignty

83
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:36.079
<v Speaker 2>to tour our facilities. It was really good because we

84
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>got to meet uh, some career staff that have been

85
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 2>worked for the Department of Justice and some new appointees.

86
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:44.519
<v Speaker 2>And I want to tell you, you know, there's a

87
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 2>lot of debates in the country about the new administration

88
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 2>and pros and cons, and I just laid out some

89
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 2>cons a while ago on a lot of budget things.

90
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I have found the interaction with some of these political

91
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 2>appointees and including the principal Deputy Attorney General Emil Bouvet,

92
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 2>to be good because they're interested, they want to learn more,

93
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 2>and they came to Cherokenation to learn more about how

94
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.600
<v Speaker 2>we've scaled up our Marshall Service a prosecutor's office. Well,

95
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 2>we're doing more with rehabilitation than we've done before. All

96
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>that's good, and all of that's an opportunity to show

97
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 2>what we can do in partnership with the federal government,

98
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>shifting gears. Just a minute at Counselor Patskowski and of

99
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>course you represents the Artisville area. And then we went

100
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 2>to visit with the Department of Interior officials just yesterday.

101
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 2>And then you go back a month Tom and I

102
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>visited with the Secretary Health and Human Services Robert F.

103
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Kennedy Junior. So we're getting in front of these new

104
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.560
<v Speaker 2>officials and trying to show them the good news about

105
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>what's going on in the Cheroke Nation and trying to

106
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>build some partnerships.

107
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, you were talking a little bit about, of course,

108
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the government's budget and everything, and said, Congress the President,

109
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.959
<v Speaker 1>how are you coming along with this portion of a

110
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 1>treaty that you had to be fulfilled of getting a

111
00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>delegate into.

112
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 2>Tom. It's slow going. And I think one of the

113
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 2>first times I ever talked about that was on this

114
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 2>show in twenty nineteen. That was a younger, more naive

115
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Chief Hoskin. Now was a younger Tom. I don't know

116
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 2>if it was a younger, more naive Tom, but as

117
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.519
<v Speaker 2>a younger, more naive Chief Hoskin. Because I have learned

118
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.839
<v Speaker 2>that Washington's even tougher Tom in the last five years

119
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>than I thought, and it has been tough to get

120
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>this delegate seated. But the cause is still righteous. It's

121
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 2>still a treaty, it's the supreme law of the land.

122
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 2>I would say, let's put it in context. We're in

123
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>the midst of dealing with a lot of budget cuts

124
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 2>that are hurting, and I just talked about job cort kids,

125
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, low income kids. We're dealing with trying to

126
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 2>protect low income heating assistance for elders. We're dealing with

127
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 2>public safety issues candidly, and I think people appreciate this.

128
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.319
<v Speaker 2>I've got to make sure those are front burner issues

129
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.879
<v Speaker 2>because these are immediate concerns of people that the Cherokee

130
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Nation cares about and communities we care about. The delegate

131
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>issue is still very much on our agenda. It's just

132
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 2>we've got to prioritize things we're doing. And so right now,

133
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:07.800
<v Speaker 2>when I'm in front of a member of Congress, I'm

134
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:13.240
<v Speaker 2>talking about protecting funding for programs that people are relying on.

135
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 2>And so we'll keep up the fight though. Cherokee delegate

136
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 2>dot Com is still the website people can go to

137
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 2>to pitch in their voice.

138
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 1>We've got to remember the removal bike ride that's taking

139
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>place right now. That is quite a deal. This kind

140
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 1>of grows every year.

141
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.360
<v Speaker 2>It is. It's really remarkable and a lot of people

142
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 2>know about it, but people who don't should know that.

143
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Trail of Tears eighteen thirty eight to

144
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>eighteen thirty nine was a dark chapter in the history

145
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>of the United States. It was a really difficult and

146
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 2>tragic chapter in the Cherokee story. But nearly two centuries later,

147
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>we've got young people every year who take that period

148
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 2>of history. They take it back, and they make it powerful,

149
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.199
<v Speaker 2>and they make it about hope and promise for the future.

150
00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 2>And they take off on a nearly thousand mile bike

151
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>ride from Nuachoda, Georgia, which tom Knuichoda was our former

152
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 2>capital before our removal, and they will ride back, and

153
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I see it every year. Their lives have changed. Not

154
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:14.120
<v Speaker 2>only do they go through the physical preparation and the

155
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 2>physical endurance of a difficult ride, they go through things

156
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.680
<v Speaker 2>mentally and emotionally that are a lot of growth. And

157
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I always see these young people years down the road.

158
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 2>Invariably they're doing great and interesting things. And I think

159
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 2>part of it is because they were part of this

160
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 2>powerful annual remember the removal ride, and we kind of

161
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 2>live vicariously through them, So we kind of travel through

162
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 2>them with them on social media to see them visit

163
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 2>historic sites where our ancestors were laid to rest, where

164
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 2>our ancestors were rounded up with stockades, where our ancestors

165
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.440
<v Speaker 2>looked back to the East Tom seeing their homeland for

166
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 2>the last time in eighteen thirty eight, and we just

167
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:54.960
<v Speaker 2>a right there with them, So it's a great event.

168
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:59.799
<v Speaker 2>We wish them a safe journey just recently and will

169
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.720
<v Speaker 2>welcome them back June to twenty first here in Tahawuah.

170
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:04.799
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm going to jump off course here a

171
00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit. I want to encourage folks when you go

172
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>down to Tahiquah. If you go to the museum, you'll

173
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.679
<v Speaker 1>learn the story of the Cherokee and how they came

174
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>to the eastern part of the United States. It's a

175
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 1>very interesting story, one I wasn't aware of until I

176
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>walked right in and a gentleman explained to me what

177
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 1>I was looking at. I'm like, oh my gosh. And

178
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>then you take the progression or sometimes in that case

179
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>with removal a regression, and you get the complete story

180
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>once you're in there. But that is the past that

181
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.039
<v Speaker 1>needs to be remembered. But coming up on Saturday is

182
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>the future of Cherokee Nation. That is the general election.

183
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Cherokee Nation, Tom one of the oldest democracies

184
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 2>on the planet, and so we're going to exercise democracy

185
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 2>on Saturday. We've got about half of our council seats

186
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 2>are up for reelection. Staggered election similar to how you

187
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>see the Senate of the United States. Sen at the

188
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>state of Oklahoma operate, so not all the seats are up,

189
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 2>so not everybody has got a vote to cast, but

190
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 2>districts two, four, five, seven, nine, ten, eleven, and fifteen

191
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 2>and one at large seat up. Polls are open seven

192
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:21.480

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:32.159

196
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 2>we make it easy or easier than if you're not

197
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 2>able to go Saturday, you can come to Tahlequaw today

200
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 2>big day. We'll see how it goes. That's democracy and

201
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm all for it, sir, very good.

202
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, one other thing, how is the Visitors Center doing

203
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 1>over there in beneina I Every time I every time

204
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>I pass by there, you got cars, you got people

205
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 1>coming in and out. I've been in and out. It's

206
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:04.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty dark.

207
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Nice, it's a great facility. And I think it's going

208
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 2>to really have even more interest as we get near

209
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:17.639
<v Speaker 2>the one hundred year celebration of Route sixty six. As

210
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, Tom, that is on Route sixty six, just

211
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:23.440
<v Speaker 2>off I forty four. We had a lot of international

212
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.799
<v Speaker 2>travelers any given years since we've been open, and they

213
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 2>come in their interests. Of course, we get a lot

214
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>of national, interstate travelers and within the region travelers. We're

215
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 2>going to get a lot as we build up to

216
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>that centennial. It's great, it's going well, and it's a

217
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:42.679
<v Speaker 2>great place to showcase authentic Cherokee art, history and culture.
