PAWHUSKA, Okla. (AP) – The Osage Nation has inaugurated a new chief and assistant chief.
John D. Red Eagle was installed as the American Indian tribe's new principal chief and Scott N. BigHorse as the tribe's assistant principal chief during a ceremony Aug. 4 at the tribe's cultural center in Pawhuska. Tribal Supreme Court Justice Charles Lotah administered the oaths of office.
Both Red Eagle and BigHorse, a former Oklahoma state representative, won runoff elections last month and are from Pawhuska.
Red Eagle will replace Jim Gray as the tribe's chief. He's the pastor of a small church in Pawhuska and says he plans to call for a day of reconciliation and a day of prayer in the tribe.
