The Cherokee Nation has scheduled a special council meeting for 5 p.m. June 6 superseding and replacing the previously called meeting of June 5.
The council will consider and act upon a proposed resolution “authorizing the submission to a vote of the people an affirmation of the removal of federal approval for the Cherokee Nation Constitution or Amendments to the Constitution.”
The amendment passed in the last election, but the freedmen could not vote in that election, said council attorney Todd Hembree.
The tribal attorney general and the administration have indicated to Hembree they believe Carl J. Artman, assistant secretary of Indian Affairs, will sign off on the amendment if the freedmen have an opportunity to vote on it in the June 23 tribal election.
