Event Information: In Eastern Oklahoma and across Indian Country, we’re carrying real issues that don’t fit neatly in one corner: rural healthcare gaps, housing pressure, addiction and mental health, underfunded schools, unsafe roads, broadband deserts, and the constant push-and-pull between sovereignty and systems that weren’t built with us in mind.

And here’s the truth: none of us can win this match alone.

Small tribes and large tribes, urban and rural communities, elected leaders and grassroots workers, courts and clinics, schools and businesses, we’re all in the same ring. Different histories, different resources, different strategies, but the same responsibility: protect our people, strengthen our nations, and build a future that our kids can stand on proudly.

So today isn’t about who gets the spotlight. It’s about who shows up for the work. Because when we link arms instead of throwing elbows, Indian Country doesn’t just survive… we set the tone for what strength looks like.
