Meeting with U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack




Recently met with U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack at a University of Arkansas’ distinguished lecture series event. We discussed the USDA’s Keepseagle legal settlement and the Cherokee Nation’s commitment to revitalizing the role Native American agriculture plays in today’s society. Additionally, I thanked Secretary Vilsack for the opportunities to support USDA through federal contracts with Cherokee Nation Businesses. 

Cherokee Nation citizen and UARK Law School Dean Stacy Leeds arranged for Secretary Vilsack to speak at the Fayetteville, AR campus.
