PRINCIPAL CHIEF SIGNS TRIBAL LAW BRINGING SUMMER EBT PROGRAM
TO MUSCOGEE RESERVATION
The Muscogee Nation is partnering with the Chickasaw Nation, Cherokee Nation, Hunger Free Oklahoma and USDA Food and Nutrition Services to bring the Summer EBT Program for Children to the Muscogee Reservation.
The Muscogee Nation National Council met in Emergency Session on Thursday, February 8, and passed two tribal resolutions and a tribal law clearing the way for the Principal Chief to sign and implement the program on February 12.
The Summer EBT program will be administered through the Muscogee Nation WIC Program and will serve up to 105,604 eligible children. The program provides $40 per month, per eligible child throughout the summer on EBT cards. Resolution, TR 24-028, authorized the Principal Chief to execute a memorandum of understanding for an intergovernmental agreement with the Chickasaw Nation and the Cherokee Nation, who are both operating Summer EBT programs in their respective reservations and will assist the Nation in implementation.
The new adaptive playground at Whiteside Park located at 4009 S. Pittsburg Ave. in Tulsa, is more than wheelchair ramps and accessibility. The playground is designed with all users in mind and engages children and adults with a wide range of abilities. Well-designed playgrounds support the health and development of the whole child and the whole community. ACS Playground Adventures designed this all-inclusive playground with the help of community member voices sharing lived experiences, Tulsa Parks Department, and the Burnstein Family Foundation. The playground also features Tulsa's fist adaptive bathroom at a City park!
The Sanford and Irene Burnstein Family Foundation’s vision of an adaptive and inclusive playground has been a true partnership with City of Tulsa leaders and key community members. Mrs. Irene Burnstein and her late husband, Sanford (Stan), established their family foundation to share their success with families across Tulsa and Oklahoma.
“Stan and I had a vision that children of all ages and abilities could gather together to play, explore, and learn from one another. My family celebrates this vision today with the announcement of the plans for a playground that will bring joy and fun to so many,” stated Mrs. Irene Burnstein.
Dear Tulsans,
The Sanford & Irene Burnstein Family Foundation is dedicated to promoting an individual's highest potential through initiatives that enrich the community, support human services, promote social and racial justice, and are inclusive of all.
In honor of Juneteenth, the Foundation Trustees and staff stand with our neighbors and partners in creating a more vibrant and inclusive community. The Foundation is proud to support Juneteenth celebrations as fellow citizens gather in historic Greenwood or virtually to commemorate this important date and to proclaim that Black Lives Matter.
Through the Foundation’s work with community partners, innovation and inclusivity are key to breaking cycles of inequity. The Foundation stands in solidarity and side by side with all who seek to end discrimination, racism, bigotry, and injustice. Together, we will make Tulsa stronger and more vibrant for all of its citizens.
Stay safe during these challenging times.
Sincerely,
Sanford & Irene Burnstein Family Foundation Trustees and Staff
