Cherokee Nation acknowledges the need to provide bilingual clerical and other staff in programs and positions which call for extensive public contact with tribal citizens. Given the need to assure that the Cherokee language may be used in the workplace for conduct of business between Cherokee-speaking tribal citizens and staff of Cherokee Nation and to promote good role modeling by Cherokee Nation staff, the following policies are adopted:

1. All Cherokee Nation personnel shall become more knowledgeable in Cherokee history, language and culture.

2. Cherokee Nation will provide an educational program for all Cherokee Nation employees in the history, language, and culture of Cherokee Nation to become more knowledgeable in these subjects. This program will provide information which will promote pride and tribal identity and respect for tribal government and Cherokee people.
