Tribal leaders, lawmakers and community members gathered Tuesday at the Oklahoma Capitol to observe Oklahoma Treaty Day, an event hosted by the Oklahoma Native Caucus to highlight the ongoing significance of tribal treaties. The day included presentations on treaty obligations, tribal sovereignty and intergovernmental partnerships, according to News 9, a CBS affiliate in Oklahoma City.
Speakers included Osage Nation Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear, Cherokee Nation Delegate to Congress Kim Teehee and Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes Government Affairs Officer LaRenda Morgan. State Sen. Mary Boren said the event is a reminder that honoring treaties is not only a legal obligation but a step toward building a more inclusive Oklahoma.
