TULSA, Oklahoma -
The leaders of four of the five tribes impacted by the Supreme Court’s ruling on tribal jurisdiction said they’re not happy with how a planned forum in Tulsa came together.
The forum to discuss the McGirt ruling is scheduled for next week and was organized by the Tulsa County District Attorney’s office and Governor Kevin Stitt.
Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. is not holding back. I think it suggests that Governor Stitt s leadership on this issue is lacking, said Hoskin.
Hoskin, along with leaders of the Chickasaw, Choctaw and Muscogee Nations, said they’re not happy with how an upcoming forum discussing the impact of the Supreme Court s ruling on tribal jurisdiction came together.
