Tribes contributed nearly $13 billion to Oklahoma

A new study shows that Native American Tribes have contributed significantly to Oklahoma's economic growth.

The study was done through the Oklahoma Tribal Finance Consortium, and shows tribes had a near $13 Billion dollar impact on the state, an increase of nearly $10 Billion dollars since 2011.

The study shows employment numbers also spiked with 10,000 new jobs since 2011.

The information comes as Gov. Kevin Stitt has asked tribes to renegotiate their gaming compacts.
