Aya,

As you receive our first newsletter of the year, I hope it finds each of our Peoria citizens joyful and well.  This time of year brings about our ever-growing Peoria Children’s Christmas Party, end of year family gatherings and time well spent around the fireplace. December also allows for times of annual reflection and thankfulness as a Nation, Tribe and State. I pray peace and joy in 2024 upon all three.

Thank you to each of our citizens that were able to attend our annual events or stopped by our tribal headquarters to utilize any or all our tremendous citizen benefit programs or purchase tribal merchandise. I look forward to seeing, visiting, and participating with each of you at our upcoming events in 2024.

Let us gather again soon at our Peoria General Council Meeting this March 2nd at Buffalo Run Casino and Resort here in Miami, OK.

God bless each of you and our great Peoria Nation in 2024.

Be Well.

Chief Craig Harper
