From The Tulsa World:

The Cherokee Nation is preparing for its 57th-annual Cherokee National Holiday this weekend, an event that could draw an estimated 100,000 people.

The holiday begins Thursday and includes sporting events, arts and crafts, food and speeches.

“It’s usually a homecoming for us,” said Cherokee Nation spokeswoman LeAnn Dreadfulwater. “For a lot of people, it’s coming back and being immersed in Cherokee culture, even if it is for a little bit. Especially if your family has moved out of state, you may not have a chance to be around that very often.”
