Summary
The Cherokee Nation Tribal Council approved a resolution authorizing the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Education to take title to three buildings on the Sequoyah Schools campus for demolition under the Sequoyah Schools $65 million capital plan; the measure passed with no discussion.
The Cherokee Nation Tribal Council voted to approve a resolution authorizing the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Education to transfer title of three buildings on the Sequoyah Schools campus so they can be demolished as part of the Sequoyah Schools $65 million capital plan.
Councilor Sasha Blackfox Qualls moved the resolution, saying it authorizes the federal agencies to take title to three campus buildings for demolition pursuant to the capital plan. The motion was seconded and, after no discussion, the presiding officer called for the vote and announced the motion passed.
The resolution directs the federal agencies named — the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Indian Education — to accept title for the limited purpose of demolition. The council did not record extended debate or supplemental details about the demolition timeline, contractor selection, or specific building identities during the meeting.
The council took the approval by voice vote with no members recorded in opposition. The item was presented as part of new business and passed before the council moved on to consider the Cherokee Nation Clean Energy and Sustainability Act of 2026.
