Tulsa Celebrates Native American Day
Tulsa celebrated Native American Day with its ninth annual event at Dream Keepers Park, honoring the history, culture, and impact of Oklahoma's 39 federally recognized tribes.
The event's theme, "From Trails to Triumph," recognized the strength and perseverance of Native peoples throughout history. This year's celebration coincided with the national holiday, Indigenous Peoples Day, which was formally recognized by President Joe Biden in 2021.
President Joe Biden formally recognized Indigenous Peoples Day in 2021 to be celebrated alongside Columbus Day.
In contrast, former President Donald Trump praised Christopher Columbus as a "hero of Western civilization" in a recent proclamation. Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. emphasized tribal sovereignty and criticized Columbus in his remarks.
