In 2018, Tulsa artist E. Dee Tabor was aware her bolo tie creation titled "Treaty" could well be the most provocative piece displayed at the Artesian Arts Festival. Tabor encapsulated a small bit of a Chickasaw-U.S. government treaty in its design. "I found the treaty of 1786 (historically the Treaty of Hopewell) and printed it. I cut a piece out of that and placed it behind double refractive calcite. The calcite displays the words of the treaty but distorts them. It is like seeing double,"...

Cherri Foytlin and her fellow protestors spent much of last summer suspended 35-feet in the air in “sky pods” tied to cypress trees.

Foytlin and others with the group L’Eau Est La Vie (“Water Is Life”) set up wooden platforms...

Indian lawyer Bree Black Horse describes the “federal Indian”: an Indian who is no longer or has never been enrolled by a federally recognized tribe, yet who still qualifies as “Indian” under various federal laws. Any elimination of BIA CDIBs would threaten federal Indian relatives...
