Cherokee Nation to Host Job Fair
TAHLEQUAH, OK — The Cherokee Nation will host a Job Fair on Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the health conference room of the Cherokee Nation complex just three miles south of Tahlequah on Highway 62. The job fair will be held during the 56th Annual Cherokee National Holiday.
The job fair will be hosted by Cherokee Nation’s Career Services Group and will provide participants with information about employment opportunities with the Cherokee Nation, Cherokee Nation Enterprises and TERO contractors.
The Cherokee National Holiday has been held since 1953 in tribute to the signing of the 1839 Cherokee Constitution. It has grown into one of the largest events in Oklahoma, attracting more than 90,000 visitors from across the world.
Each year a theme is chosen for the Cherokee National Holiday that celebrates Cherokee Nation’s rich heritage and culture. The 2008 theme is "di ni yo tli u na li s de lv do di, Planting the Seed Corn for our Children's Future."
“In this theme, we honor all the Cherokee parents and grandparents whose everyday actions are dedicated to establishing strong, self-sufficient children and communities. Cherokee community members have great respect for these individuals who care and plan for the Cherokee Nation’s leaders of tomorrow,” said Smith.
