THE RIGHT DIRECTION - THE RIGHT LEADERS - THE RIGHT TIME

Why Team Cherokee?

A team works together for a common cause. Only when each team member works together with other team members can success and championships be achieved. There are no grandstanders or show-offs on a great team. Team members are respectful of fellow team members. Good team members are not motivated by selfish and personal interests. On a great team there are players with talent and positive attitude. The Cherokee Nation and our people can no longer afford council members who refuse to work together for the betterment of our fellow Cherokees, and those who continue to fight against instead of working together with the administration to find the best solutions. The Cherokee people are tired of council members who pursue petty fights, make insulting remarks in the press about other elected officials, pander for votes with the Cherokee Nation’s money, don’t go to meetings and then complain afterward in their ignorance, and who fail to communicate with their constituents. The Cherokee people deserve and want positive and effective leaders who roll up their sleeves and work together as a team to get the job done on behalf of the people they serve and represent.
