ABOUT / CHEROKEE SCHILL
Researcher. Analyst. Independent writer. Interested in the distance between how systems are described and how they operate.
Cherokee Schill works across technology, public accountability, policy, and institutional behavior. The writing begins with questions, follows the available evidence, and aims to make complex structures legible to a general audience.
Washington-rooted, with work and collaborations conducted online.
An evidence-led approach
Research and analysis are most useful when readers can see the distinction between a documented fact, an interpretation, and an unanswered question. Sources, context, and competing explanations matter—especially when the subject is consequential or contested.
Independent by design
This website is a professional home for essays, research, exploratory projects, and working notes. Longer-form reporting and analysis also appear at Horizon Accord ↗, an independent publication founded by Cherokee Schill.
