The holding in the McGirt v. Oklahoma Supreme Court case is the most significant sovereignty decision in Oklahoma history—declaring that the Muscogee (Creek) Nation lands, reserved since the 19th century, remain a Native American reservation and are thus considered “Indian country” for the purposes of the Major Crimes Act.
