About the Episode
In the United States, the Cherokee Nation is fighting for the fulfillment of a 188-year-old promise from the U.S. government. The same treaty that forced the Cherokee to give up their land in 1835 also promised them the right to representation in Congress. Kimberly Teehee has been designated the first Cherokee Nation delegate, but she is still waiting to be seated in the House of Representatives.
