OKLAHOMA INDIAN NATIONS

Prior to the 1907 statehood, Oklahoma was home to what is considered five indigenous tribes: Caddo, Comanche, Kiowa, Osage, and Wichita. With the "Indian Removal Act" passed by the U.S. Congress in 1830, more than 60 Indian nations located throughout the United States were forced to leave their original homelands to temporarily or permanently reside in what was then called "Indian Territory."

Today, the United States government recognizes 562 sovereign Indian nations within its boundaries. Oklahoma is home to 39 tribal govern- ments, of which 37 are federally recognized. Sovereign nations have distinct powers that include the power to form their own government; to determine their own membership; to make and enforce laws, both civil and criminal; to tax; to license and regulate activities within their jurisdic- tional boundaries; and others. The economic impact of the tribal gov- ernments located in Oklahoma is estimated to be more than $15 billion annually.

According to the 2000 Census, Oklahoma ranks second in states with the highest American Indian population. The Oklahoma Indian Affairs Commission has identified other significant statistical informa- tion through direct contact with federal and state agencies, as well as through an agency survey con- ducted by the Commission in November 2005 and November 2006. Following this page is the "2006- 2007 AMERICAN INDIAN STATISTICS AT-A-GLANCE" section of this publication, which includes vari- ous categories of statistical information regarding the State of Oklahoma and Oklahoma's tribal govern- ments and their populations. This publication also includes a "MAPS, CHARTS, & OTHER INFORMA- TION" resource section that provides visuals for many of the statistical data narrated in the "stats-at-a- glance" section. The source from which information was derived is identified by caption or following indi- vidual lines.

(OIAC Annual Tribal Survey, 2006).

~ By law, the maximum duration of any motor fuels contract is 20 years and has an expiration date of year 2016. Contract life decreases annually and is determined by individual contract effective dates. ~ In the year 2016, all (100%) of the existing motor fuels contracts can continue for an additional 10 years with pre-existing terms (also termed "rollover"), or can be re-negotiated with new terms, or can be cancelled by either party (the State or a Tribe).

~ The earliest compacts were signed in 1996 and will be in effect for the full 20 years. The more recent the contract, the fewer years of contract life remain.

OKLAHOMA INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMISSION 19 A. TRIBAL JURISDICTIONS MAPS PROJECT: In FY-02, the Oklahoma Indian Affairs Commission identified a project to document the jurisdictions of Oklahoma's sovereign nations and com- paring those jurisdictions with State House, Senate, and Congressional districts. In collaboration with the Bureau of land Management (BlM) and the Oklahoma Dept. of Transportation (ODOT), the difficult task of mapping tribal jurisdictions was completed by BLM and then ODOT proceeded to plot the state districts.

~ Tribal jurisdiction by county varies from nation-to-nation as follows (36 of 38 tribes responded) : 1-County = 33% (12); 2-Counties = 11% (4); 3-Counties = 19% (7); 4-Counties = 3% (1); 5-Counties = 3% (1); 7-Counties = 6% (2); 8-Counties = 8% (3); 11-Counties = 8% (3); 13-Counties = 3% (1); 14-Counties = 6% (2).

~ The average number of jurisdictional counties for 17 of 18 tribes under the Southern Plains BIA is 3.5 counties. The average number of jurisdictional counties for the 19 of 20 tribes under the Eastern Region BIA is 5.4 counties. Also in the Eastern Region and excluding the 6 tribes with 11 or more jurisdictional counties, the remaining 13 tribes average 2.2 counties.

VII. AMERICAN INDIAN VETERANS (Excerpted from the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, Homes & Communities web page)

World War I: It is estimated that as many as 17,000 American Indians (voluntarily) served in the United States military in World War I. These loyal "Americans" took an oath to defend a Constitution that did not offer them the benefits of U.S. citizenship. Six hundred Oklahoma Indians were assigned to the 142nd Infantry of the 36th Texas-Oklahoma National Guard Division and saw action in France. Four men from this unit were awarded the Croix de Guerre, while others received the Church War Cross for gallantry.

World War II: In 1924, the Snyder Act gave citizenship to American Indians, which made them eligible for the draft. More than 44,000 American Indians out of a total population of less than 350,000 served with distinction between 1941 and 1945. More than 40,000 Indian people left their reservations to work in various war industries and invested more than $50 million in war bonds.

At the close of the 20th Century, there were nearly 190,000 Native American military veterans. It is well recognized that, historically, Native Americans have the highest record of service per capita when com- pared to other ethnic groups.

Rep. Anastasia Pittman SEMINOLE 0-99 OKLAHOMA CITY

OKLAHOMA INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMISSION 41 Compacts, contracts and agreements have been used successfully to address issues of mutual interest between the State of Oklahoma and Oklahoma's Indian Nations. By virtue of 74 O.S. Ch. 35A § 1221 (C), Cross-Deputization agreements, Gaming compacts, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), and Motor Vehicle Licenses are negotiated and executed between the Governor and Oklahoma federally recognized tribal governments and then must be reviewed and ratified by the Joint Committee on State Tribal Relations before being filed with the Secretary of State. The following list indicates the type of agreement, Secretary of State document number and filing or effec- tive date as of October 2007.

The presence of both tribal and non-tribal lands in Oklahoma presents many jurisdictional concerns to the law en- forcement community. In order to address the uncertainties and to maximize law enforcement resources, cross- deputization agreements have been executed between tribal governments, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and local city/county governments. Cross-deputization agreements basically allow one of the agreeing parties to deputize or "commission" a law en- forcement officer employed by one of the other parties to the agreement. Such "commission" grants the officer the same law enforcement authority as officers of the commissioning agency. These agreements have been instrumen- tal in increasing law enforcement protection, especially in rural areas of Oklahoma. FILE DATE

On February 17, 2005, the Peoria Tribe of Indians became the first tribal nation to enter into a tribal boxing compact with the State of Oklahoma.

OKLAHOMA INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMISSION 46 In Oklahoma Tax Commission v. Citizen Band of Potawatomi, 498 U.S. 505 (1991), the United States Supreme Court held that the doctrine of tribal sovereign immunity prevented the State of Oklahoma from taxing goods pur- chased by a tribal member on tribal land but is free to collect taxes on such sales to non-members of the tribe. Rec- ognizing the need to develop a method to properly allocate tax revenues between the State of Oklahoma and the tribal governments, a tobacco tax compact system was implemented.

OKLAHOMA INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMISSION 48 In Oklahoma Tax Commission v. Chickasaw Nation, 115 S.Ct. 2214 (1995), the Court found that Oklahoma's motor fuel tax laws in place at the time of the litigation could not be applied to sales of fuel by Indian tribes. In response to the decision, the State of Oklahoma revised the motor fuel tax law so that the tax could legally be applied to fuel sales on tribal lands to non-tribal members. The basic premise of the law allows federally recognized tribes to con- tract with the State to receive an apportionment of the annual gross motor fuel revenues collected by the State.

A sovereign, federally recognized Indian tribe has the power and authority to issue motor vehicle license tags to its enrolled citizens living within its territorial boundaries, in accordance with the United States Supreme Court's deci- sion in Sac & Fox Nation vs. Oklahoma Tax Commission, 508 U.S. 114 (1993). While 29 Oklahoma tribes issue motor vehicle license tags to its members, only one has made a compact with the State of Oklahoma.

OKLAHOMA INDIAN AFFAIRS COMMISSION 53 In 1994, the Oklahoma Legislature created the Native American Cultural and Educational Authority, a state agency authorized to construct and operate a Cultural Center and Museum for the purpose of generating awareness and understanding of the history of tribes and their relationship to Oklahoma today. The NACEA has made tremendous progress toward the realization of the American Indian Cultural Center and Mu- seum. Construction has begun, and an institutional plan has been devel- oped and the implementation plan has commenced.

The city of Oklahoma City was selected as the site for the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum. The site is located at the southeast corner of the 1-35 and 1-40 intersection near downtown Oklahoma City. Once the schematic design of the Cultural Center and Museum building began, con- struction commenced in April 2006 and the site is currently under construc- tion. The projected opening date for the Cultural Center is 2010 through 2012. For more information, visit their Web site at www.aiccm.com.

In 1994, the Oklahoma Legislature created the Native American Cultural and Educational Authority (NACEA) to promote the history and culture of Native Americans for the mutual benefit of the State of Oklahoma and its Indian and non-Indian citizens. By that legislation, the NACEA was authorized to construct and operate an American Indian Cultural Center and Museum.

The center will be a world-class facility designed to provide a state, national and interna- tional focus on the tribes located in Oklahoma. It will be designed to provide education about the tribes and celebrate the diverse histories, cultures and achievements of the Native American com- munity. The Cultural Center and Museum will serve as a satellite institution that will complement and connect institutions across the state and nation through programming and cultural tourism ac- tivities.

In addition, the Center will develop and sustain relationships with visitors, communities, constituents and tribes through education, visitor services, and public programs such as curriculum- based school programs and teacher resource and training programs. Art, language and music pro- grams will be provided to encourage preservation and growth of cultures. An Oklahoma Visitor Wel- come Center will promote outreach and include a co-op and internship program. These elements will serve to strengthen the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum as an extremely valuable educational and community facility for all of Oklahoma.

The principal staff of the NACEA includes Gena Timberman (Choctaw), Executive Director; Susan Manning, Executive Secretary; Ryan Barnett, Director of Administration and Operations; Sue Fish (Chickasaw/Choctaw), Assistant to the Direc- tor of Administration and Operations; and Nathan Hart (Cheyenne), Director of Community Affairs.
