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.

You can’t tell the story of Oklahoma, or of our Main Street, without including the tribes.
