July 14, 2020
Representative Sharice Davids issued the following statement on the McGirt v Oklahoma Supreme Court ruling:
"In the McGirt v Oklahoma decision handed down today, the Supreme Court recognized long-ignored treaty rights and fulfilled broken promises to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. This decision confirms that the federal government must be held accountable in upholding its treaty obligations to all Native communities and is an important victory for tribal sovereignty."
