On May 12th, the Shawnee Tribe hosted an Elders’ Luncheon at the Emma “Mock” Donaldson Shawnee Language House, bringing together approximately 50 tribal elders for a time of community and fellowship.

Our Housing Department also hosted an Open House the same day to celebrate the opening of its new office at 1525 A Street NE in Miami, Oklahoma. The event gave tribal citizens the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the programs and services offered by the department.
