2ºIt will never happen because if it did, it opens the floodgates for others in similar situations to make the same demands. According to Brittanica: A nation is a group of people with a common language, history, culture, and (usually) geographic territory. A state is an association of people characterized by formal institutions of government, including laws; permanent territorial boundaries; and sovereignty (political independence). A state may comprise one or more nations (as did the Roman Empire and Austria-Hungary), and a nation may be represented in (or ruled by) one or more (usually contiguous) states, as in the early modern principalities of Germany. A state comprising or dominated by a single nation is often called a nation-state.
3ºBarry Rogers - Mark Wayne "Markwayne" Mullin is a Citizen of the Cherokee Nation. He represents Congressional District 2 in the US Congress. But, he is a Republican. One time he tried to claim there was no forced march called the Trail of Tears. He claimed that the Cherokees volunteered to go to Indian Territory. But, when his Cherokee Genealogy was checked, his Cherokee ancestor was in the "Old Setters" group that volunteered to go to NW Arkansas in the early 1800s. That was before there was even a Trail of Tears. After the Trail of Tears was finished, the Cherokees in Arkansas were forced to move to the Cherokee Reservation in Indian Territory. Mullin had to be schooled about his own ancestry.
4ºNilo Anderson - The Cherokee Nation does financially support the State of Oklahoma. Cherokees in Oklahoma do pay state and federal income taxes. Every year, the Cherokee Nation gives money to the public school systems that are inside the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation. The part of North Tulsa which is in Tulsa County and north of Admiral Place is inside the Cherokee Nation. South of there is in the Muscogee/Creek Nation and a part of NW Tulsa is in the Osage Nation. But, the money from the Cherokee Nation goes to the Tulsa Public School system. There are Cherokees living in every part of Tulsa. I live 2 blocks north of Admiral Place.
