- Description:
- The Peoria Indian Tribe of Oklahoma, led by Chief Rodney P. Arnette, opposes 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 would result in increased protection for residents of Indian Country. They assert that giving the state jurisdiction over these lands would be a violation of tribal sovereignty.
