TAHLEQUAH – Prior to next week’s Democratic Party Convention in Philadelphia, Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker endorsed Hillary Clinton to become president of the United States.
The Cherokee Nation is one of America’s largest American Indian tribes.
Citing her commitment to tribal nations, Baker says in his endorsement:
“Secretary Clinton understands Indian people must have a seat at the table with federal officials in the development of federal policies affecting our communities.”
.....................
Hillary Clinton is our best choice to serve as President of the United States. Having served in the roles of Secretary of State, U.S. Senator and the sometime under-appreciated role of First Lady, she has unprecedented experience in international and domestic policy, which includes tribal sovereignty. As the elected leader of the largest tribal government in America, that level of experience is invaluable to Indian Country.............
