House Joint Resolution 360, sponsored by Representative Russell, honors the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians for their efforts to reclaim ancestral lands in Monroe County, Tennessee. This resolution acknowledges the passage of H.R. 226 in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 4, 2025, which aims to place four specific parcels of land, including the Sequoyah Birthplace Museum and the original Overhill capital town of Chota, into a trust for the benefit of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

The resolution highlights the rich history of the Cherokee people in East Tennessee and expresses commendation for their ongoing efforts to regain their cultural and historical lands. It concludes with a directive for the preparation of an appropriate copy of the resolution for presentation, ensuring that the language is clear and devoid of legislative designations.
