In this edition of the OCU LAW News Podcast, we speak to Instructor of Law C. Blue Clark, who has authored a new book detailing the American Indian tribes of Oklahoma. The book, published through the University of Oklahoma Press, is titled Indian Tribes of Oklahoma: A Guide. 

"It always surprises me that Native peoples are all but invisible within the contemporary United States," says Professor Clark. "There is a vast Indian Country out there that’s ready to be visited, that’s ready to be danced in if one is respectful, that’s ready to do business with, but it remains invisible."

Professor Clark holds the David Pendleton Chair in American Indian Studies and serves as Intertribal, Governmental and Cultural Advisor for the Native American Legal Resource Center at OCU LAW. He holds a bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma and is the author of Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock: Treaty Rights and Indian Law at the end of the Nineteenth Century (1999, paperback ed.). He is a member of the Muscogee Creek tribe.
