Biography
Ross Swimmer’s Native American heritage and work in real estate law intersected when he performed pro bono work for the Cherokee Nation Housing Authority, later becoming in-house counsel for the Cherokee Nation. He began working for the Nation in an official capacity in 1972 and became Principal Chief in 1975.

Swimmer went on to the law firm of Hall Estill where his focus was again on the betterment of Native American people. His work resulted in several tribal settlements and work for the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw tribes.
