Changes to the Cherokee Nation Chief's Cabinet are being announced.
Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. and Deputy Principal Chief Bryan Warner announced the changes earlier this week to the tribe’s cabinet and administration staff and a nomination of a new Supreme Court justice. Hoskin’s second-term cabinet, if confirmed by the Council of the Cherokee Nation later this month, will consist of four women and four men leading various departments across the tribes’ workforce of 4,700 government employees. The nominees will go before the Council of the Cherokee Nation on August 31 for consideration. Hoskin also announced the appointment of Tina Glory-Jordan to the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court to fill a seat opened by the resignation of Lee Paden, as well as the departure of Cherokee Nation Attorney General Sara Hill from the post she has held since Hoskin took office in August 2019.
