The McGirt decision is a historic nod to the sovereignty of Tribal Nations, finally giving recognition to treaty rights ratified by the United States Senate. Having previously worked at the U.S. Department of State, Jason understands the importance of diplomacy between governments and will work with Tribal partners to ensure that both federal trust obligations are met and Tribal sovereignty is respected. Tribal Nations have been in Oklahoma since before there was an Oklahoma and have been partners in building this state since the beginning. Respect, support, and cooperation with Tribal leaders is essential to continue rural economic development and public safety in our state. Oklahoma and the Tribal Nations are made better when we work together, and Jason will continue the long tradition of cooperation.
