TAHLEQUAH – Cherokee Nation leaders gathered on Oct. 14 to cut the ribbon to open the tribe’s new Indian Child Welfare office.
The 40,000-square-foot space, formerly a Mean’s Furniture store at 3227 S. Muskogee Ave., was purchased by the CN and remodeled to house the more than 70 ICW employees with the capacity for up to 98 employees.
While the need for more space was evident, it allows the department to continue serving more than 1,100 children throughout the state and nation.
