Voters weren't able to decide on the issue this past November because the proponents of the initiative missed a deadline for having it appear on the ballot. But it is still being considered and the tribe says it would violate the Native American Languages Act. The lawsuit has been filed in the Oklahoma Supreme Court Get the Story:
