our homecoming
The Cherokee National Holiday commemorates the signing of the 1839 Cherokee Nation Constitution. It is an annual celebration of our shared history and heritage that draws tens of thousands of visitors each year over Labor Day weekend. It reaffirms that the Cherokee Nation is a sovereign nation and honors the goodwill, camaraderie and positivity that Cherokees share with one another. Welcome to our homecoming.
