The Wolf Creek Cherokee Tribe of Virginia is seeking state recognition from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Though they are not seeking federal recognition, they are seeking respect from the Virginia government. During a Zoom session on Friday February 19, 2021, tribal members were given the opportunity to speak remotely for the hearing of bill HJ 572, which was unanimously supported in the House of Delegates. Though those against the bill were able to speak in the hearing, Chief Terry Price, Chief Gary Price, and member Donald Ladd were not afforded time to make their support known. Joined by Delegate Dolores McQuinn, the tribe feels that their opinions were overlooked. 

Though the Cherokee Chief of Oklahoma, Chuck Hoskin Jr., depicted that there are no Cherokee tribal members outside of Oklahoma, this is false. The Wolf Creek Cherokee Tribe deserves recognition out of a sign of respect.
