I can see why the organizers of the OKC Freedom Rally chose the hold their event at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Norman!
Earlier this week, the Kiowa Tribe Language Department held a retreat at the hotel, which sounds as non-political as you can get. However, as a Kiowa Tribe employee—who is also an Elder, mind you—tried to check-out using a Tax Identification Exemption Card, after the Accounts Manager on Duty told him his card was invalid, he then told the Elder to “go back to your reservation and use it there because our hotel is not in Indian Country.”
A Kiowa ELDER was disrespected in Norman, OK by an @EmbassySuites employee, saying “You can go back to your reservation and use it there because our hotel is not in Indian Country.”
