Starting with the Cherokee government’s approach to its own Reconstruction, "The Cherokee Republic" explores how Cherokee lawmakers and officials instituted important reforms during the 1880s which helped mitigate the costs of settler encroachment and promote the extension of Cherokee nation-building. In reexamining the supposed end of sovereignty, the project invites a fresh interpretation of the links between U.S. imperialism abroad and Oklahoma’s path to statehood, granted in 1907. Noah is a proud citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
