Dr. Allen is a policy specialist with the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and a former United States Marine. His talk will look at issues affecting the revitalization of the Cherokee Nation, including state-recognized tribes and the splitting of the Cherokee into three federally-recognized tribes (the Cherokee Nation, the Eastern Band of Cherokee, and the United Keetoowah Band).
