Oklahoma's Native tribes are trying to fill a gap in sex ed left by the state's schools

On a rainy Wednesday afternoon, four American Indian teenagers are gathered in a nondescript building along rural Okmulgee, Oklahoma's main street. As the headquarters of the Muscogee Creek Nation, Okmulgee takes pride in its American Indian heritage.

Street signs in the downtown area are in both English and Muscogee languages and tribal insignia is seen throughout the community.

Outside the building, a man drives a truck hauling bales of hay while inside the building, posters of American Indian youth in traditional regalia hang on one wall.
