The committee expects legal comments before bringing the draft to the full commission for review and discussion.

Carter said the committee met before the full commission meeting to begin drafting proposed bylaw language that would implement and expand on the ordinance changes; items under consideration include whether to reference the Dreamkeepers Awards and Native American Day within the bylaws, committee structure, and the order of meetings. He added that the committee plans to meet again before the next full commission meeting and will provide commissioners time to review the proposed ordinance prior to any vote to recommend city-council approval.

Why it matters: amending the ordinance and updating the bylaws could formalize procedures for commissions' awards, events and committee structure and clarify internal governance. No specific council hearing or final vote date was provided at the meeting.

Next steps: the bylaws committee will await feedback from city legal, then circulate the ordinance draft to the entire commission for review and questions before any formal recommendation to the city council.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Tulsa - Indian Affairs Commission - Jun 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission’s bylaws committee submitted a draft ordinance to the City of Tulsa legal department for review and plans to circulate the ordinance and proposed bylaw changes to the full commission before recommending council action.","taxTitle","Tulsa, Tulsa County, Oklahoma","taxId",2682,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515154,"Commission plans scaled Native American Day and kicks off park-design work; parks firm TSW named",917,1411000,2328000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5019478-3027209ee98299d7e984192d6b0032b8&start=1411&end=2328","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5019478-3027209ee98299d7e984192d6b0032b8/thumbnail_1411000.jpg","/articles/6515154/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Commission-plans-scaled-Native-American-Day-and-kicks-off-park-design-work-parks-firm-TSW-named","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515154-1a6ca373a039f2ee1687d0d9422deead/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440468&Signature=c-6mdYWwFbPC3W8~s20GV9JPaWMDNwtIwQvv3PileNBKb2HvUjkSOL7A7543c4Ws9ChNKVmW~ZiLq0gsPsDBxeWaTsbzf8f53Z4wwUTlE14mmeSKBM-7-3FELYUk6RkdJt17kXudxtYLjpw5Q7yiTf49r0L76op5rHtvd15ED1Qy7YZlL~TksBu-ktC0iUcPD5qgSpYDt2Si-q2WhJULOtRnkB0fHqPFHb5D9GLyfa-vA8adBTXBfg44DiqPBWfAarHhWrDmjQH4HaUZQELpUVASA95EH7qSPI2qlwt3Jbmn7adJT~~eISAy1pcis6o-zgv1kH-6kiX6AixVcg-aBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners said June 17 that Native American Day will be observed on Oct. 13 and that preparations this year will reflect upcoming construction at the park site, changes to parking and vendor layouts, and a streamlined footprint intended to keep the event moving while construction begins.

The parks committee reported that it has selected TSW, a locally based landscape design firm described at the meeting as woman-owned and Cherokee-affiliated, to begin the design phase for the commemorative park. The parks committee chair said the group will hold a design kick-off with the parks department on June 26 to move from selection to schematic design, and added that the committee is mindful of grant spending timelines tied to the project.

The committee discussed fundraising and sponsorships. The chair said the Shawnee tribe has pledged $1,500 and that the Modoc tribe had sent a flag in response to the commission’s outreach. Committee members said the art element for a planned monument will be funded separately and that an RFP for the artwork would come later, after core park construction is underway.

Commissioners also described other event logistics: a large vendor tent, a separate sponsors tent, and a designated committee tent for the scribe section; organizers said they are moving away from using Eventbrite and will use Google Forms for vendor registration this year. The parks committee chair said the commission is aiming to balance event needs with construction timelines so that Native American Day can proceed while the park project advances.

The parks committee noted it still seeks participation or funding confirmation from the Osage Nation for one of three planned gardens; the chair said outreach and presentations have occurred and that the committee is continuing conversations with Osage leaders.

Next steps: the parks committee will hold a June 26 kickoff meeting with the parks department and move toward schematic drawings; the commission’s Native American Day working group will continue registration and sponsorship outreach.","At its June 17 meeting commissioners discussed plans for Native American Day on Oct. 13, selected TSW as the parks design firm to begin work on a commemorative park, and reported a $1,500 donation from the Shawnee tribe and a flag from the Modoc tribe.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515159,"Commission says Muscogee Nation litigation has short extension; tribal council action could clear way for mayoral sign-off",120,983000,1103000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5019478-3027209ee98299d7e984192d6b0032b8&start=983&end=1103","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5019478-3027209ee98299d7e984192d6b0032b8/thumbnail_983000.jpg","/articles/6515159/Tulsa/Tulsa-County/Oklahoma/Commission-says-Muscogee-Nation-litigation-has-short-extension-tribal-council-action-could-clear-way-for-mayoral-sign-off","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515159-c748228c7c3ca7636fe79ecbab6ee758/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440468&Signature=Li1N1bFcom51BaWn8unXCT95tOMkjrAlwbS6PMAAQjngf-t46qjEBXEhgjDmWR6IdERXEw1nlkiQKlw4VG0Jow5TVkkMkhBde-qmE6qe4J3d22f-LM1RY~mEc7h8gXImmJ3rweMiCSfBjEKAswVzrMKILtYc-E6LV7UiqlXuojZ-utQRCOI-8riX1e6xTuC2kyuvyuvXlDiXM5dAkTUawIDcLnZJc4bDVSmqmlB7hGgUzLrPJ2rXN1wG373SPLvKszQRZgjopP15hK7hpTug-E0bQXLPEnfRK8T8wjmiHvqcG3SoFEQUNXnHofpomrgXs9ry9F1ikHjPeojkH~8Q-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The director of tribal policy and partnerships for the Greater Tulsa Area Aid Affairs Commission reported June 17 that a pending legal matter with the Muscogee Nation has been extended briefly in court and that tribal-council action this week could allow for mayoral sign-off and a judge’s final approval.

The director of tribal policy and partnerships said, “we finally reached a place where we have some agreeable language between us and the tribe,” and that the tribe “was able to get it passed through their council committee,” but the document could not be approved in an emergency session. The director added that “it will go before their regular council meeting, on the 20 first this coming Saturday,” after which it would be ready for the mayor’s signature and then final approval by the judge.

Why it matters: the director described the item as the largest item currently on the commission’s radar, and said the administration and tribal leaders were coordinating language to resolve outstanding issues. The director also said the governor had submitted comments in response to a request for an extension.

Commission staff said they are also arranging intergovernmental meetings tied to the litigation schedule. The director reported ongoing work to schedule the next intertribal meeting with the mayor and three chiefs and indicated a tentative date of July 7 that currently works for the Muscogee Nation and the Cherokee Nation; staff asked commission members to help secure the Osage Nation’s participation.

No formal action or vote on the litigation was recorded at the commission meeting. Commissioners and staff framed the discussion as status updates on litigation timing and intergovernmental coordination rather than policy decisions by the commission.

Next steps: staff said they expect the tribal council’s regular meeting action to occur this week and, if approved, the document would proceed to the mayor for signature and then to the court for final approval. The commission will convene its planned intertribal meeting after those steps are resolved.","At the June 17 meeting the commission’s director of tribal policy said both parties requested a short court extension and that language agreed between Tulsa and the Muscogee Nation has passed a tribal council committee; a regular council meeting this week could clear the way for mayoral signature and a judge’s final approval.","actionData","errors"]
