  • The SCOTUS McGirt v. Oklahoma ruling last summer was a win for tribal sovereignty, but the jurisdiction questions that came from the decision remain.

    Both Native men and women were killed for their allotments just more of the missing and Native Tribal members who survived the trail of tears just to be murdered and roses of children and land while state and federal governments still bicker about who is entitled to do what in Indian Territories.

      We need Chief Corn Tassel back. We do not need cross deputization s with the very same sheriffs, chiefs of Police, Prosecutors who have been victimizing Native Americans again and again. And are clamoring to continue to victimize us again and again with Governor Stitt and O'Conner.

    43% of the state that was America is now an Indian reservation with no enforcement or prosecution by the state of Oklahoma. So do I get my taxes reduced by 43% or do I now pay taxes to the Creek Nation?

    Does this only pertain to those living on a reservation?

      It applies to all Native American criminal defendants who are living on established tribal land. This is the 5 civilized tribes plus as of just the last week or so, the Peoria, Quapaw and Miami tribes.
      Under the Federal General and Major Crimes Act, the Federal Government has general criminal jurisdiction over tribal lands that it shares concurrently with the Tribes in "Indian Country" over Tribal members.
      To put it simply, for Native Americans charged with crimes in Indian territory, the Federal Government or the Tribes prosecute. The State cannot. And for a few delineated crimes only the Feds can prosecute.
      Concerning non-native Americans charged with crimes in Indian territory, the State has jurisdiction and can prosecute.

    Congress and the army should act swiftly. The heads of these tribes and the Oklahoma Governor should be arrested

    This opinion by Gorsuch is incredibly flawed, as John Roberts pointed out convincingly in dissent. Gorsuch recognized all the disestablishing acts by congress but then fails to recognize the obvious intent of congress as understood by literally everyone at the time and for the ensuing century. Congress disestablished tribal law, tribal courts, allotted all of tribal lands to private citizens living on them, AND made every citizen of the Tribes US citizens a full decade before they did this for any other tribes. They did this for the express purpose of allowing full participation in the creation of the Oklahoma Constitution - which they did do. All this was clearly intended to finally disestablish the reservations upon Oklahoma statehood. But Gorsuch ignored gobs of precedents and opined that congress never said the magic words.
    For Gorsuch not to see the obvious intent of congress here is like someone looking for a forest but finding only leaves, bark, grass and dirt and ruling there is no forest.

      They all think they want this McGirt law because they think it helps them. In the long haul, it guarantees that something new is coming towards them because this has destabilized the Oklahoma economy. How can perspective business owners move to a place that they can’t insure their businesses, or homes against violent robberies, because the only cross deputized department in Oklahoma is the Highway Patrol. 450,000 citizens of Oklahoma carry a CDIB card. That’s half a million people, operating by different rules. These tribal conditions of law, are exactly that, tribal. Y’all better forget your Irish, or African American, or Native American, and just start doing what is right for all.

      That’s not true. The Oklahoma GOP was asleep and let this happen. It is lawless in 43% of the state because they have 6 forms of law representing 39 tribes and then of course regular old Oklahoma law for the old whities and African Americans. The GOP will not do anything about McGirt law until they figure out a way to blame a democrat for it.
