Cherokee Chief: Supreme Court ‘failed’ to honor promises to tribal nations<\/div>\r\n

<\/p>\r\nPrincipal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr.<\/a> of the Cherokee Nation<\/a> issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta<\/em><\/a> on June 29, 2022.\r\n<\/em>\r\n

Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr., Cherokee Nation<\/h5>\r\nWith today\u2019s decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against legal precedent and the basic principles of congressional authority and Indian law. During arguments, Justice Gorsuch asked if the Court would \u2018wilt today because of a social media campaign\u2019 \u2013 it is unfortunate that the answer appears to be yes. The dissent today did not mince words \u2013 the Court failed in its duty to honor this nation\u2019s promises, defied Congress\u2019s statutes, and accepted the \u201clawless disregard of the Cherokee\u2019s sovereignty.\u201d\r\n

<\/p>\r\nWhile we are disappointed in this ruling, it does not diminish our commitment to meeting our public safety responsibilities and to protecting Oklahomans on our reservations and across the state. Tribal and federal jurisdiction remain unchanged by this decision, but the need to work together on behalf of Oklahomans has never been more clear.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nAlso unchanged is the affirmation of our reservation and our sovereignty. Despite the Oklahoma governor\u2019s lies and attacks, the Court has refused to overturn the McGirt decision. As we enter a chapter of concurrent jurisdiction, tribes will continue to seek partnership and collaboration with state authorities while expanding our own justice systems. \r\n

<\/p>\r\nWe hope that with these legal questions behind us, Governor Stitt will finally lay his anti-tribal agenda to rest and come to the table to move forward with us \u2013 for the sake of Oklahomans and public safety.\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
