Cherokee Nation Citizenship Registration and Photo ID Field Events coming across Reservation

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. - Throughout the remainder of the year, Cherokee Nation will be hosting several citizenship registration and photo ID field events across the reservation with a few at large events scheduled.

"We want to invite all Cherokee Nation citizens who need an updated photo ID to join us for one of these field events," said Cherokee Nation Deputy Secretary of State Canaan Duncan.
