Welcome @GovStitt to the Muscogee Reservation for your State of the State address @TulsaChamber on this historic day that marks justice served in a new era of affirmed tribal sovereignty and jurisdictional clarity.
Yesterday’s sentencing of Jimcy McGirt to 3 life terms in federal prison – and the U.S. attorneys’ actions to ensure this man’s uninterrupted imprisonment – is a prime example of an orderly process that preserves public safety and delivers justice in the lawful, appropriate venue
We commend the diligence of the USAO in prosecuting this case and the federal judge for preserving justice for the victims of these heinous crimes. Here for all to see today is an affirming reality that flies in the face of the continuing dissonance of chaos and fear-mongering.
This case, along with others, proves that implementation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling in the landmark case that bears McGirt’s name is working for all Oklahomans. Awepvks, @GovStitt! #MuscogeeReservation #TIDE #APromiseNotAProblem

“The law of the land – as affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in the ‘McGirt’ case – is working.”
Muscogee Nation Principal Chief David Hill’s editorial in Sept. 5 @TheOklahoman

“What’s not working is the Governor and Attorney General’s fear-mongering, misdirection (bold statements on ‘McGirt,’ silence on the state’s COVID-driven healthcare crisis), and a litany of legal actions designed to overturn the ruling.” – Hill
“The ruling last year had the effect of re-affirming key elements of our tribal sovereignty that were ignored by Oklahoma for 114 years.” – Hill

The Muscogee Nation has a few updates and corrections to the remarks that Oklahoma Governor Stitt delivered today at the Tulsa Regional Chamber of Commerce’s annual State of the State meeting. Long 🧵 #MuscogeeReservation #APromiseNotAProblem #McGirt
We limit our focus here to the Governor’s statements about the effects of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling in the landmark McGirt v. Oklahoma case that had the effect of re-affirming our tribal sovereignty.
 First, “McGirt” is not the biggest problem or threat to Oklahoma.
The implementation of changes in criminal jurisdiction and other matters is under way. Yesterday’s sentencing of Jimcy McGirt in U.S. District Court to 3 life sentences is a prime example of an orderly process that preserves public safety and delivers justice in the lawful venue.
