flag Oklahoma drops state charges against tribal member for hunting on reservation under tribal law.

flag Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has dismissed charges against Shawn Robertson, a Choctaw Nation member, for hunting without a state license on tribal land, stating the state will no longer prosecute tribal members for such offenses when they follow tribal laws. flag The decision, rooted in tribal sovereignty and longstanding treaties, marks a shift from previous state actions that strained relations with Native American nations. flag Drummond criticized the outgoing governor’s administration for undermining tribal rights and pledged to prioritize cooperation. flag Tribal leaders praised the move, affirming that tribal membership cards serve as valid hunting credentials on reservations. flag The state’s wildlife agency maintains its authority, citing a recent court ruling, but tribal nations argue the state’s stance violates federal law and constitutional protections.
