TULSA Gov. Kevin Stitt told a contentious crowd gathered at a Tuesday night forum that Oklahomans need to know about the impacts of the Supreme Court ruling that changed how some crimes are prosecuted in eastern Oklahoma.
Stitt said he and other state leaders had organized the event to inform crime victims about their rights in light of the year-old McGirt v. Oklahoma decision.
The forum organized by Stitt and prosecutors had drawn criticism days before it began. Leaders of the tribes whose reservations were affirmed by the Supreme Court ruling have said they weren’t invited to speak. The Chickasaw Nation said Tuesday that it received an email about the event. Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin had described the event as “an anti-McGirt rally for political reasons.”

This sacred rock in Lawrence was once located along the banks of the Kaw River at the mouth of Shunganunga Creek. The Kaw people used the 10-foot tall red rock with religious ceremonies. In 1929, the rock was moved to Robinson Park near Lawrence s City Hall to honor the town s founders.
As the City of Lawrence begins work to return a sacred prayer rock stolen from the Kaw Nation’s homelands nearly a century ago, it is asking the community for any historical documents to help understand how the boulder was brought to Lawrence and installed in its current location.
