The Office of the Attorney General represents the Cherokee Nation as a government. The OAG does not represent individual Cherokee citizens. The OAG cannot provide legal advice to individuals regarding dismissal of criminal charges; vacating criminal convictions; taxation; or any other criminal or civil implications of the McGirt decision. If you have questions about how the McGirt decision impacts you, you should consult an attorney, accountant, or other professional.

The information contained here is for Cherokee citizens, the general public, as well as attorneys and courts. The Office of the Attorney General receives multiple daily inquiries about the effect of the United States Supreme Court decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma on the Cherokee Nation, and our position is clear: the Cherokee Nation Reservation continues to exist today as it has since it was created by the “patents of 1838 and 1846 diminished only by the Treaty of July 19, 1866 and the Act of March 3, 1893.” Cherokee Nation Constitution, Art. II.
