Hollis E. Roberts
Hollis Earl Roberts (May 9, 1943 – October 19, 2011) was a Native American politician whose career was highlighted by his 19-year period as chief of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Hollis Roberts was born in Hochatown to Laura Beam Roberts and Darrell E. Roberts. He attended Holly Creek Elementary and Idabel High School, graduating in 1961. Roberts married Helen R. Rodriguez in 1963. They had three children: two boys and one girl.〔(Hollis E. Roberts ) Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Accessed April 25, 2012〕 Following his political career, Roberts died on October 19, 2011 at 68 years of age.〔(Former Choctaw Chief Hollis Roberts dies at 68 ) The Seattle Times, October 21, 2011〕
Roberts remains an extremely polarizing and controversial figure among Native Americans. His 19-year reign as Chief of the Choctaw Nation came to end in 1997 amid convictions of sexual contact and sexual abuse. From these convictions (leading to an eleven-year prison sentence and removal from office), to his then-extravagant $120,000 per year salary,〔("Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma" ) Indian Country Today, Last modified May 24, 2000. Accessed April 15, 2012.〕 to his alleged corruption; all have led to a negative public opinion of Roberts. Nevertheless, he served for 19 years as chief of the one of the largest Native American tribes in the United States. He governed well over 195,000 members, including over 79,000 in Oklahoma.〔(American Indians By The Numbers ) infoplease.com, Accessed April 24, 2012〕
==Early Political Career==
Roberts began his political career as a city council person in Hugo City where he served for 14 years. Hugo is a town within the Choctaw Reservation in Oklahoma. Following his time in Hugo, Roberts served six years in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, representing Choctaw County. Choctaw county was only six per cent Indians, making his dramatic victory that much more captivating. Following his time as a member of the Oklahoma House Representative, Roberts served from 1975-1978 as Choctaw Chief David Gardner’s assistant.〔Lambert, Valerie.
