Framing
Cooweescoowee Health Clinic – Ochelata, OK
Summary
Cherokee Nation Businesses (CNB) is accepting bids for framing art, community photographs, and
historical records to be hung within the newly constructed Cooweescoowee Health Clinic in Ochelata,
Oklahoma.
LA 25-05 requires all Cherokee Nation construction and/or renovation projects $500,000+ to set aside
1% of the total project cost for the procurement of culturally appropriate art. The use of these funds
allows the Cherokee Nation to share our rich history, culture and heritage through visual art.
We will only accept bids from TERO certified vendors who are Cherokee Nation citizens and can provide
identification as such.
