Sac and Fox Nation of

Oklahoma

May 17th marks the national

holiday, “Victory Day” for the

Sac and Fox Nation. Victory

Day was declared after the Sac

and Fox Nation had sued the

State of Oklahoma for failing to

recognize the motor vehicle titles and tags issued by our tribe.

With a Native American legal team, including the late Bill

Rice, the late Truman Carter

and Greg Bigler, the case made

it through all levels of the court

system in our favor. The ﬁnal

decision by the Supreme Court

was unanimous 9-0, siding with

the Sac and Fox Nation. It acknowledged that the State of

Oklahoma would not impose

income taxes or motor vehicle

taxes on Sac and Fox Nation

tribal members.

Thereafter, the State of Oklahoma was to recognize the tags

and titles issued to our tribal members. The Sac and Fox

Nation was victorious for these

reasons. However, Victory Day

comes about for more reasons

than that. This victory was only

possible because of the tribal members who took it upon

themselves to gain the education needed to break the cycles

our tribe was stuck in for generations.

In our history with the U.S.

Government, the Sac and Fox

people were made to believe

that we had lost our sovereignty.

We were told that all of our matters were matters for the Bureau

of Indian Affairs to dictate for us

because we were not living on

a reservation. They told us we

had no governing authority over

our own people. These things

we were made to believe were

never conﬁrmed.

It was in 1980 when our people acted to change that for good.

More than

Winning The

Supreme Court Case

Our council of that time took it

upon themselves to commit to

this ﬁght for all of us: Principal

Chief John R. Thorpe; Second

Chief Gaylon R. Franklin, Sr.;

Secretary/Treasurer Hazel Williamson; Committee Member

Henrietta Massey; Committee

Member Thomas Morris Jr.;

and, Committee Member Alvin

Falls.

In 1982, our Council enacted

new taxation laws that allowed

the tribe to tax oil, gas, sales,

tobacco, and earnings. These

actions taken by our council

paved the way for other tribes

to follow suit. Victory Day for

the Sac and Fox Nation is more

than winning the Supreme Court

case. May 17th is a Sac and Fox

Holiday that acknowledges we

have always had the power to

govern according to our own

laws. It is acknowledging that

we are our own nation. Sac and

Fox Victory Day is set to remind

us of our sovereignty. It is a day

to recognize our strength and resilience.
