There has been no invitation to meet with Gov Stitt and there is no meeting scheduled. That Gov Stitt thinks he can command tribal leaders to his office by simply declaring it on live television speaks volumes of why has had been a failure at state / tribal relations.

🤦🏽♂️You can’t make this stuff up. I’m certain Dr. King would not join Governor Stitt in his effort to destroy the reservations of Indian nations. In any case, this day should be about unity and joining together to shine a light on darkness.
Stitt at MLK event: "I believe that freedom fighters like Dr. King would be astounded, maybe even disgusted, by the McGirt ruling. The ruling created two sets of rules for Oklahomans based on their race. In Eastern Oklahoma right now there is not equal protection under the law."

At what point are Oklahoma’s state licensed “feelings police” going to punish schools for teaching about the Trail of Tears? Imagine a world in which Oklahoma public education teachers were allowed to teach our way to being a “Top 10 State.”
