The 9th annual Native American Day celebration in Tulsa is more than a cultural event; it is a powerful recognition of heritage, history, and the ongoing fight for representation.
Held on Muscogee land, the event celebrates the legacy, strength, and contributions of Oklahoma's Native communities while highlighting the need for more Indian education in schools.
This year's theme, "From Trails to Triumph," honors the journey and resilience of Indigenous communities in Tulsa, across Oklahoma, and throughout the nation.
Native American Day, celebrated every second Monday of October, serves as a reminder that 39 federally recognized tribes call Oklahoma home.
