Veteran’s Day Event

Today November 11, 2020 Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma honored and celebrated our U.S. Veterans at our Peoria Tribal Cemetery in front of the Veteran’s Memorial. It was a beautiful ceremony followed by gifts for the Veterans and lunch for all. We heard the story of Tojo the Veteran Monkey from Miami, Oklahoma with a purple heart told by Cap Ulrey. We also heard beautiful songs in honor by Cricket Rice & John David Ballard. Thank you to our Citizens who were able to make it out, and a very special thank you to all of our Veteran’s that have fought for this Country. #PeoriaProud
