A Diary of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians

The Cherokee One Feather is the official weekly newspaper and multimedia news source for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, a federally recognized tribe based on the Cherokee Indian Reservation in Cherokee, North Carolina. It is the policy of the Cherokee One Feather to publish news articles and other materials and information judged by the editorial staff to have general value to the Cherokee community. Such news articles include a resume of Tribal Council business, Executive Committee and Business Committee actions and action taken by other Tribal committees, boards and enterprises. In addition, we cover local, state, regional, national, and international stories that of interest and impact to our tribe and surrounding community. We serve the approximately 16,000 members of our tribe and thousands of community members within the Western North Carolina region.
