Where in the Cherokee Nation?
Established in 1824, the site served as the first army post in Indian Territory. According to the Oklahoma Historical Society, the site served as a starting point for several military expeditions that explored the West. It was occupied through most of the Indian removal period, but then abandoned in 1857. The post was reactivated during the Civil War. It was renamed Fort Blunt and served as the Union headquarters in Indian Territory. The U.S. Army stayed through the Reconstruction and Indian Wars periods, combating the problem of outlaws and squatters. Abandoned in 1890, the fort was later the headquarters of the Dawes Commission for their work enrolling members of the Five Tribes. At this site, the Commission members focused their attention on Cherokee Freedmen. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1960. What is this site and where in the Cherokee Nation is it?

OPINION: A building boom because the Cherokee Nation is home
I know that the Cherokee Nation is a wonderful place to live. The people, culture and natural beauty of our 7,000-square-mile reservation in northeast Oklahoma make me proud to call it home.
