Resolution 79-8: Peoria Tribe of Oklahoma Opposes Legislation Affecting Indian Country Jurisdiction1979-05-22unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_109_7_59_18_0003The 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.
