Season 4, Episode 8: "Chief Gary Batton on Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma’s Latest News"

Season 4 Hits: 1183

I’m incredibly proud to be a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. But I’m even prouder when I reach out to our Chief and he’s willing to share with us about the latest goals and the future of our tribe!

Chief Gary Batton and I met in Hugo, Oklahoma to talk about:

  • This year’s election
  • Future plans for the tribe
  • Upcoming capital projects
  • Choctaw Nation’s Cultural goals
  • Conversations with Governor Stitt
  • The LEAP program (lease to purchase)
  • The latest on the aftermath of McGirt vs Oklahoma
  • The excitement & info around the upcoming new Choctaw Landing gaming resort in Hochatown
  • I asked how he does it all, being constantly on the go (you’ll be interested to hear his answer when I asked how many hours of sleep he actually gets!)

Yakoke, Chief for being transparent and forthright with us. We appreciate your many hard hours and care and concern for the Choctaw people. God bless!
