Impact of the Supreme Court Decision
The landmark Supreme Court decision, often referred to as McGirt, affirmed that a significant portion of Oklahoma remains recognized as Native American land, particularly that of the Muscogee Nation. This ruling stemmed from a case involving Patrick Murphy, who was convicted of murder on tribal land. The case argued that Oklahoma lacked jurisdiction, and eventually, the court ruled that the reservations never lost their status, thereby restoring tribal sovereignty in a substantial area. This decision marked a crucial moment for Native American legal rights and governance, setting a precedent for affirming tribal sovereignty across the U.S.
