Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. and special guest Todd Enlow, the Executive Director of Housing Programs, stop by the pod!

Chief Hoskin and Todd give some behind-the-scenes insight into many of the exciting projects happening across our reservation.

Chief Hoskin also talks about focusing our tribe's energy on revitalizing our precious Cherokee language, building more housing for the Cherokee people, and making our health care the best in Indian Country.

We also ask Chief Hoskin about the legacy he hopes to leave behind and why his rooster is named after Howl's Moving Castle.
