AG says current reservation jurisdictions present challenges

TAHLEQUAH – Many jurisdictional questions have been raised by the McGirt v. Oklahoma decision about how far the reach of tribal, state and federal law enforcement agencies extends onto Native reservations, particularly when non-Natives perpetrate a crime. Cherokee Nation Attorney General Sara Hill spoke to reporters during an April 6 virtual press conference about the potential effects of McGirt. “It was important for the tribes to get an acknowledgment by the United States Supreme Court that the treaties made between the United States and the Five Tribes had meaning,” Hill said. “The consequence of that was the acknowledgment that the state had been illegally prosecuting people – Indians or people who had committed crimes against Indians – for 100 years.”

Fracture in criminal system created by Supreme Court decision, Tulsa County DA says

    TULSA COUNTY, Oklahoma (Tulsa World) The Supreme Court decision affirming tribal jurisdiction within the Muscogee (Creek) reservation is causing concern at the Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office. District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler hosted a town hall on Wednesday night to speak out about the decision and what he said is a “fracture” in how criminal cases are investigated and prosecuted. He called on members of the public to talk to their political leaders to come up with a solution to “fix” the divide and make sure victims continue to get justice. “This is how it used to work,” Kunzweiler said. “This is the system that all of us know and believed how it worked. Police respond to a crime. They then investigate the crime. They follow up and do interviews and write reports. They make an arrest. Then the prosecutor prosecutes. In the history of Oklahoma, that’s how it worked.
