Dear Tribal Citizens,
Today, March 1, 2016, is Super Tuesday in Oklahoma. Both the Democratic and Republican parties are having primary elections that will determine the respective nominees for the November general election. This important day gives us the opportunity to have our voices heard, and to shape the leadership of our great nation and our state. Participating in the election process is an important act. By voting, you exercise your voice and that is powerful.
On this Election Day, please take the time to vote because it will help shape our future, but honors our past. As Indian people, we were not granted the right to vote until the 1924 Indian Citizenship Act. In the voting booth, we honor those who came before us, and fought for our right to participate in the election process.
You can vote from 7-7 and if you are unsure of where to vote, you can find that information at https://services.okelections.us/voterSearch.aspx or you can call your County Election Board for help.
Wado,
Principal Chief Bill John Baker
