"It's critical to stress the importance of hearing from our local, state, county, and National candidates about their positions on protecting tribal sovereignty,” Chairwoman of UINO Margo Gray said. “Every vote is important to the Native American agenda in Oklahoma because protecting Tribal sovereignty is on the ballot in Oklahoma." 

Gray said Native people are a voting block that can make a major difference, and UINO is committed to doing their part to engage and encourage the Native vote in Oklahoma.

Lunch will also be served at the event.
