Breaking Ground for Tribal Justice Center Phase II

Gathering on a warm sunny afternoon, many tribal citizens and employees of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes gathered to witness the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes Justice Center Phase II in Concho, Okla.

On June 1, the tribes turned dirt to officially embark on the long awaited construction of phase II of the justice center to add on a new Social Services building.

The ceremony began with traditional drum songs and a ground blessing was presented by Language and Culture director, Gordon Yellowman.

Welcoming remarks were given by Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes Lt. Gov. Gilbert Miles, who referenced a Martin Luther King Jr., quote.
