Tribes in Oklahoma are actively working to unseat the incumbent governor—who is a Cherokee citizen—because they say he is the most anti-Native American state leader in recent memory. A judge recently dissolved the Osage Nation reservation, saying Congress probably would have gotten around to disestablishment at some point anyway. And tribes are fighting the state’s new anti-Critical Race Theory law, saying it hampers students learning about the state’s long history of Native American oppression. Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce checks in on the unique relationship between tribes and the state of Oklahoma with Allison Herrera (Xolon Salinan), Indigenous Affairs reporter at KOSU; Sarah Gray (Cherokee, Muscogee, Kiowa), partner at the Muscogee Nation-based PR firm ST. Comms Shop; Reese Gorman, political reporter for The Frontier; and Allen Wright (Choctaw), president and founder of the Hustings Group.
