Staff Only

The Modoc Tribe of Oklahoma is a federally-recognized tribe opposing any federal congressional action that would affect the jurisdictional status of Indian Country in Oklahoma. They believe that full assumption of law enforcement responsibilities by the federal government and tribes will result in increased protection for residents of Indian Country and the entire population of the state. The tribe sees any legislation giving the state jurisdiction over Indian Country as a violation of tribal sovereignty.
