Cherokee Nation investing in public art projects

Cherokee Nation
The Cherokee Nation’s 7,000 square-mile reservation is a special place, full of vibrant culture and fascinating history. Through public art, we honor and enhance our culture and history. Public art ensures that all people on our reservation, whether they live here or are just visiting, can find beauty and curiosity about the Cherokee people’s rich heritage.
Cherokee Nation and Cherokee Nation Businesses have sponsored many works of public art across our reservation. Most recently we dedicated a new mural in downtown Claremore, in partnership with the City of Claremore and the Claremore Main Street Program. The partnership was sparked by the efforts of the local Cherokee Council member, Keith Austin.
