Cherokee Nation is celebrating 10 years since Oklahoma voters overwhelmingly favored State Question 712, the constitutional amendment that allowed Oklahoma to level the economic playing field with other states and opened the door to a new market for tourism and hospitality in the state. The Cherokee Nation was one of the first Oklahoma tribes to agree to a gaming compact with the state following the Nov. 2, 2004, vote. Since the compact agreement with Oklahoma was enacted, the Cherokee Nation has paid more than $126 million to support education in Oklahoma, and $100 million in fees to support the horse racing industry in Oklahoma. This is in addition to the Cherokee Nation’s government programs that also support education, housing, health care, roads and bridges, and other services. Follow the link to learn more!
