TAHLEQUAH \u2013\u00a0The Cherokee Nation \u2013 alongside the Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Muscogee Nation and Seminole Nation of Oklahoma \u2013 filed an\u00a0amicus brief<\/a>\u00a0with the U.S. Supreme Court ahead of oral arguments in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta.<\/p>\n

The brief, filed April 4, outlines the inaccuracies in the state\u2019s claims around legal jurisdiction and tribal sovereignty, which would override congressional authority and are inconsistent with both settled law and decades of precedent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Governor Stitt\u2019s attempt to overturn\u00a0McGirt<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>was rejected, it did not mean an end to our work to protect our rights and sovereignty. The Cherokee Nation\u2019s brief today addresses the flawed arguments in the state of Oklahoma\u2019s suit, which seeks to create chaos in our justice system by upending successful and long-settled law governing Indian Country across the United States,\u201d said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. \u201cThe best way to truly protect Oklahomans and to support public safety is to work together, as tribes have already been doing with our federal, state and local partners. We once again call on Governor Stitt to give up his politically motivated attacks on our sovereignty and work with us to promote what is best for public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
The brief explains: \u201cThe Federal government and [Tribal] Nations are committing unprecedented resources to protect the public and secure criminal justice under the rule of law set forth in\u00a0McGirt<\/em>,\u201d but the state of Oklahoma seeks to \u201cignore this effort\u2019s success and attack it using recycled anecdotes.\u201d The brief also outlines why the Court should \u201creject the State\u2019s broad and novel proposition\u201d to override congressional authority on allocating criminal jurisdiction in Indian Country.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
