Cherokee Nation

For #NationalNewspaperWeek, we're celebrating the legacy and #journalism of the Cherokee Phoenix! ????????????? The Cherokee Phoenix newspaper has been a stalwart source of information for the Cherokee people since it first published in 1828. It was the first newspaper published by Native Americans in the United States and the first bilingual newspaper in the country’s history. It has played a pivotal role in communicating and sharing our story with the world. Additionally, the Cherokee Phoenix has been a vital resource for preserving our language and keeping it in daily use. It continues to serve as a valuable tool for language learners and first-language speakers alike. As a free press entity, the Cherokee Phoenix is overseen by an independent editorial board and offers a platform for a wide variety of Cherokee voices. Cherokee Nation is one of the few tribes that has a free press entity. ?? This week, the Phoenix will be posting on social media about their history and the staff members who uphold its legacy. Go follow the Phoenix on social media and follow along! ?? And don't forget about the ???????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????? ??????????????! Learn more about that here: https://loom.ly/PtEmti8
