Louisiana State Bar Assoc. 與 Absentee Shawnee Tribe 使用情況與統計

The Absentee Shawnee Tribe is primarily located in the heart of central Oklahoma with over 4300 enrolled members, living in all parts of the world. Our tribal government complex is located in Shawnee Oklahoma. Our logo features Tecumseh, a Shawnee warrior and visionary leader, who worked to unite tribes in a common homeland where Indians could live under their own laws and leaders. He died in October 1813, in battle near the area of present day Thamesville, in Toronto, Canada. The LI-SI-WI-NWI in our logo means "Among the Shawnee". The Absentee Shawnee Tribe offers a wide variety of services and programs to tribal community members. These services and programs range from their Education assistance program to their Cultural Preservation programs that strive to maintain, preserve, and protect the culture, language, and traditions of the Absentee Shawnee people. They have a culturally-sensitive quality health care system, the Absentee Shawnee Tribal Health System, that promotes good health and disease prevention through a multi-disciplinary team using holistic and evidence-based practices that address all health issues and educational needs while protecting individual confidentiality. They also have one of Oklahoma’s finest gaming destinations, Thunderbird Casino, designed to be the premier boutique for Oklahoma gaming with two locations, in Shawnee and Norman.
