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.

Friday marks one year since the historic Supreme Court ruling on tribal jurisdiction, transforming Oklahoma’s criminal justice system.
McGirt v. Oklahoma changed the way crimes are prosecuted in eastern Oklahoman involving Native American victims and defendants.
July 9th, 2020 is a day many tribal leaders celebrate. The most important case in Indian law in generations, said Chuck Hoskin Jr, the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation.
The narrow 5 to 4 ruling in McGirt vs Oklahoma ruled that Indian reservations in most of eastern Oklahoma were never disestablished at statehood.
Therefore, the state does not have jurisdiction to prosecute cases involving Native Americans that happened on tribal land. Now thousands of state cases dating back decades could be re-tried in federal court.
