TULSA, Okla. — A forum dedicated to answering questions for crime victims about the McGirt ruling sparked a protest and ended early.
The Tuesday evening event was organized by Tulsa's District Attorney, Steve Kunzweiler, with the goal of helping Oklahomans understand the McGirt ruling and its impacts.
The ruling means much of northeast Oklahoma is considered an Indian reservation. Thus, tribes or the federal government now prosecute crimes involving Native Americans.
“A lot of Native Americans don’t realize the tribes can only get involved in criminal justice cases if one of the members is the suspect in committing the crime, unless it’s domestic violence,” Kunzweiler said the day after the forum.
