The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, as a Tribal sovereign with an affirmed reservation recognized under federal law as Indian country, has exercised its inherent authority to provide opportunities for its citizens to participate in wildlife harvesting and related activities. The Nation’s treaty rights affirm its connection to a permanent homeland, which includes a commitment to care for and manage the wildlife and natural resources within that territory. These efforts, as reflected in the Title 36 - Game and Fish Code, demonstrate the Nation’s dedication to protecting its land, honoring its traditions, and advancing its sovereign governance.
