By this fall, the Oklahoma flag will be on display at Cherokee Nation facilities only under limited circumstances.

As part of an executive order signed Friday by Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., the only flags to be flown regularly at tribal properties by Sept. 1 will be those of the tribe and the United States of America.

The Oklahoma flag will be displayed only if a state dignitary or officials with the Oklahoma National Guard are visiting in their professional capacities or with the approval of the tribe’s administration.

Prior to the executive order, the state flag has been among those regularly displayed at Cherokee Nation facilities that had enough space to accommodate more than one flag.
