MCGIRT FAMILY HOPES RETRIAL SUCCESSFUL
Body
The name “McGirt” became a household word following “The McGirt Decision.” This decision was a significant legal victory for Native American rights in which the Supreme Court determined that the Indian reservations in Oklahoma were never disestablished and crimes by Native Americans on these lands falls into the jurisdiction of the tribal courts and federal judiciary instead of the state level. However, Jimcy McGirt, who had taken the case to the Supreme Court, gained little from that decision.
