flag Oklahoma tribes accuse Rep. Frank Lucas of blocking land return to delay tribal stewardship, despite offering solutions.

flag The Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma accuse Republican Congressman Frank Lucas of blocking the return of about 10,000 acres of land, arguing his push for $16.6 million to renovate a federal research center on the site is a tactic to delay tribal land stewardship. flag The tribes support continued agricultural research but want ownership to drive economic development, including farming, energy projects, and job creation. flag Tribal leaders say they’ve offered collaborative solutions but face resistance from Lucas, who has not commented. flag The funding request is pending as a federal deadline looms, and the tribes are seeking negotiations to advance land return.
