flag Oklahoma AG orders halt to tribal hunting/fishing prosecutions, citing treaty rights and legal risk.

flag Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond has ordered the state wildlife agency to stop prosecuting tribal members for hunting and fishing on reservations without state licenses, calling the policy unlawful and a threat to tribal sovereignty. flag In a Nov. 13 letter, he cited federal law, treaty rights, and the potential for legal liability, warning the enforcement actions waste resources and harm state-tribal relations. flag The move follows a dispute with Governor Kevin Stitt, who appointed a special prosecutor to handle such cases, claiming state authority. flag Drummond argues the policy misinterprets federal rulings and treaty agreements, and plans to dismiss charges if the policy continues.
