Cherokee Nation chief shifts an adviser in employment dispute
Posted: Wednesday, August 29, 2012
Cherokee Nation Chief Bill John Baker has shifted another one of his non-Cherokee advisers to a different position within his administration.
Kalyn Free, a member of the Choctaw Nation, was serving as Baker's general counsel. Now she's working for Cherokee Nation
Businesses, The Cherokee Phoenix reported.
Baker has faced criticism for hiring several non-Cherokees for top positions. That prompted the Cherokee
Nation Council to pass a bill requiring citizens to hold six specific positions -- including the general counsel.
Baker and Cherokee Nation Attorney General Todd Hembree say the bill is unconstitutional.
