Sac and Fox Nation marks ruling on tax and licensing rights
The Sac and Fox Nation celebrates the five year anniversary of a Supreme Court decision shielding tribal members from state taxes on income and vehicle tags. The ruling affirmed tribal self-government and has inspired about two dozen Oklahoma tribes to issue their own plates, with Sac and Fox collecting taxes to fund services like police and fire protection.
