Our top story this morning centers on the city’s ongoing negotiations with the Muscogee Nation. City Hall and tribal leaders are close to finalizing a major settlement that could reshape how criminal jurisdiction works across Tulsa, especially for tribal citizens living within the Muscogee Reservation. Mayor Monroe Nichols and Chief David Hill have reached a tentative agreement, and the Muscogee National Council is expected to vote on it tomorrow. Governor Kevin Stitt is voicing strong objections, calling for the state to get more involved, but local leaders are moving forward and say this will bring much-needed clarity and cooperation between our governments. We’ll keep an eye on that vote and bring you updates as the story develops.
On the cultural front, the Greenwood District is alive with energy as the annual Juneteenth Festival gets underway. Today and tomorrow, Greenwood Avenue transforms for a citywide celebration of freedom and resilience, with live music, art, food trucks, and family-friendly activities. Saturday morning features the popular Juneteenth 5K and fun run for all ages. Organizers say they expect record turnout this year, and the community spirit is already palpable across the district.
Music lovers can catch Night Ranger live tonight at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Catoosa, just a quick drive east of downtown. Tickets are still available, and the show starts at eight, so there’s still time to snag your spot for a night of classic rock hits.
Turning to business news, we’re seeing a steady flow of new restaurants opening along Cherry Street and in the Pearl District, even as some older storefronts prepare to close their doors. Real estate agents report around 350 homes currently on the market in Tulsa, with median prices holding firm in the mid two-hundred-thousand range. Tulsa’s unemployment rate remains steady at just under four percent, with job fairs scheduled this weekend at Tulsa Tech and local hotels—good news for those looking for summer work.
In sports, Union High School’s baseball team brought home a thrilling win in last night’s state quarterfinal, edging out Broken Arrow in extra innings. Our local youth soccer teams are gearing up for city championships later this weekend, so expect some excitement at the Mohawk Sports Complex.
On the crime front, Tulsa police report a quiet night overall, but they remind us to stay vigilant as summer brings more visitors to River Parks and downtown venues. The U.S. Attorney’s office announced several federal indictments this week, including charges related to fraud and assault in the metro area. No major public safety threats reported in Tulsa so far this morning.
Before we wrap up, a quick feel-good story: teachers and volunteers at McClure Elementary are hosting a free book giveaway today for local families, aiming to keep kids reading all summer long. If you’re near 61st and Peoria, swing by and pick up a few new stories for your bookshelf.
This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
