United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians Propose Treaty Delegate to U.S. Congress

Victoria Holland, a lawyer and member of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee, headquartered in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, seeks to serve in the U.S. House of Representative as a tribal delegate, under a 1835 treaty agreement with the U.S. government. The Cherokee Nation, however, claims sole entitlement to the delegate seat.
