Statement from Chief Brad KillsCrow Concerning Tribal Tags

November 10, 2023

As you may be aware, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol at the direction of Governor Stitt has started issuing tickets to motorists with tribal tags who do not live within the boundaries of their Tribe’s jurisdiction. This should not affect Delaware Tribal members with Delaware Tribal tags issued through Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee Nation has a compact with the State of Oklahoma therefore it is our understanding that this new directive from the State does not apply to any tags, including Delaware tags, issued by Cherokee Nation. If you are pulled over by OHP and issued a citation for having tribal tags, please contact my office immediately.

Brad KillsCrow, Chief
