Oklahoma tribal leaders press Istook on issues
Friday, September 1, 2006

Oklahoma tribal leaders had tough questions for Republican gubernatorial candidate Ernest Istook, who has taken controversial stances on taxation, sovereignty and land-into-trust as a member of the U.S. House.

Istook said he respects tribal sovereignty. But he said there will be "friction and ill will" because tribes can do things that non-Indians cannot do, The Native American Times reported.

Tribal leaders also questioned Istook because he met with One Nation, a group fighting tribes on various issues.

As a member of the House, Istook sponsored a bill that would take land out of trust if tribes do not collect state taxes. He supports a moratorium on federal recognition and opposes tobacco deals incumbent Gov. Brad Henry (D) signed with tribes.
