  • A Message from the Principal Chief David W. Hill
    A Message from the Principal Chief David W. Hill Hesci! As Principal Chief I am humbled and honored to establish the Mvskoke Reservation Protection Commission. This Commission is tasked to comprehensively undertake research, analysis and fact- finding to determine what actions and changes are necessary to develop new economic development, public safety, and social services policies that ensure a better future for tribal members and our neighbors as a result of the Supreme Court’s affirmation of our jurisdictional sovereignty over Mvskoke lands. The individuals on our Commission have been selected for their knowledge, education and experience in many specific areas that our historic victory concerns. As Muscogee (Creek) citizens, we are all heirs to a legacy of survival, perseverance and strength. Our ancestors dreamed that one day, we might find ourselves where we are right now. We have assembled the best and the brightest of us, from coast-to-coast all across the country to rise and meet this moment. No matter where you are if you are a citizen of this Nation, the Mvskoke Reservation is your home. And it’s up to each of us to protect it. The victory in the Supreme Court and the affirmation of our sovereignty was historic and will always be a day we fittingly celebrate. But, it’s the work we do now and moving forward that will ultimately stand the test of time and lead us to full victory. We have to work together to educate our neighbors that this decision is about clarity, not chaos. The opportunity in front of us to thrive is far greater than our Nation or the state of Oklahoma has ever seen.

    Journal #4698 from sdc 6.11.20 Protesters topple Columbus statue on State Capitol grounds Let’s Eat Mesquite Some water restored for Klamath Basin farmers We Won't Win the Climate Fight Without Youth Leadership From the Phoebe Heart Anthropology Museum (UCB) Your 2020 Law Graduates from Indigenous County Protesters topple Columbus statue on State Capitol grounds By Jessie Van Berkel Star Tribune June 10, 2020 — 10:58pm Protesters lassoed a statue of Christopher Columbus outside the State Capitol Wednesday afternoon and pulled it to the ground, saying their action was a step toward healing for Indian communities. Dozens of people gathered by the statue on the grounds outside the Capitol before pulling it down. American Indian Movement activist Mike Forcia talked to a State Patrol captain sent to the scene to encourage protesters to follow a legal process for removing the statue, which has stood on the Capitol grounds since 1931. Forcia said they had tried that route many times and it had not worked. The protesters then looped a rope around the statue and quickly pulled it off the stone pedestal and to the ground. The patrol officer watched from a distance as protesters sang and took photos with the statue for about half an hour. State officials said they had been warned about the action via social media. It was mentioned at a news conference an hour and a half earlier with Gov. Tim Walz. Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said then that the patrol would meet the protesters and seek an alternative resolution. Columbus, a 15th-century Genoese explorer, has long been a target of activists for his role in colonizing, killing and exploiting indigenous people.
