The Cherokee Nation's reservation boundaries are now visible on Google Maps — an overdue acknowledgment of the tribal lands in Oklahoma
"After the monumental US Supreme Court ruling in McGirt v Oklahoma, we've had many questions about our reservation boundaries, which always existed on paper maps," said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. in a Tuesday statement.He was referencing the landmark July 2020 case in which the court upheld that lands promised to the Creek Nation remained an Indian reservation.
"The reservation boundaries include 7,000 miles nestled in northeastern Oklahoma. Borders for the Muscogee Nation, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Seminole reservations -- all in Oklahoma -- have also been added in the last few weeks."In response to July's Supreme Court decision, we've added labels and borders for the Muscogee Nation, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole reservations to Google Maps," a spokesperson for Google told CNN.
