People and Projects Impacted by the Tribes

Every part of our state benefits from the work of the tribes. They are impacting communities and making a difference in lives across Oklahoma. The stories below highlight specific areas or services boosted by the tribal nations. From life-saving first responder equipment to a nationally recognized preschool, tribes are benefiting all Oklahomans.

The tribe just stepped up on their own. They found there was a need and decided on their own to jump in there and carry that flag.
