Thank you for joining us, Jennifer Pierce of @NEWS9, and highlighting the pending federal #IndianBoardingSchool legislation. Congress MUST pass this bill before the end of the year. Learn why, then contact your federal Reps and Senators! #UINOklahoma

UINO held an incredible annual meeting this week. We covered the pending Native American Boarding School legislation in Congress, the #MMIP crisis, navigating a new White House, Congress and #OkLeg, and so much more. Thank you to everyone who joined these important conversations!

⏰ The clock is ticking!! ⏰ Watch @NEWS9 to learn how you can help advance important legislation on #NativeAmericanBoardingSchools. UINO is committed to doing everything possible to ensure Congress gives S.1723/H.R. 7227 a floor vote before new members are sworn in this January.

Today’s annual meeting of Tribal leaders and stakeholders grew so large, we had to move locations! Great crowd for UINO’s discussions on educating and advocating for Tribal Sovereignty at the state and federal level.

‼️ URGENT: ‼️
The Lumbee group in North Carolina is actively working to stop federal legislation that would return sacred and historical lands to tribal nations, all to create leverage for their federal recognition bill.

[United Indian Nations of Oklahoma @IndianNationsOK]

The UINO condemns this conduct, believes the Lumbees should not be allowed to circumvent the federal recognition process at the Department of the Interior, and encourages other tribal nations to join us in this condemnation.

[National Congress of American Indians @NCAI1944]

NCAI condemns the unauthorized distribution of inflammatory materials at #NCAI81 today. This violates our code of conduct and the standards we uphold. We apologize to our attendees and to the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina for this great insult.

If the jurisdictional solutions for the #McGirt decision can fit on two 8.5 x 11 pages, it’s not a crisis and can be worked out pretty darned easily. Still time to join us for lunch and the afternoon session at @IndianNationsOK’s #Sovereignty101 Summit and candidate forum!

[Meta AC - Ask Anything @AC_NoChill]

At the #Sovereignty101 Summit at River Spirit Casino! It’s free and open to the public… lunch is on @IndianNationsOK — hear from great speakers including tribal leaders and legal experts, then stay for the #WarriorUpToVote Rally! 💪🏾 🪶🗳️
