The Downstream Development Authority and Quapaw Nation mourns the passing of Jim Burns, Chief Financial Officer of Saracen Casino Resort, and we extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

Jim was a finance executive with more than 28 years of diverse experience enhancing business operations through strategic focus, financial leadership, and deep expertise in operations management. A value creator and effective leader, he served with a reputation for integrity and a demonstrated record of success in achieving financial and operational goals, always balancing fiscal responsibility and prudence with the pursuit of mission-driven priorities.

We are grateful for Jim’s contributions to Saracen Casino Resort and for the lasting impact his work has had in support of the Quapaw Nation. His leadership will be remembered with respect and appreciation.

Those wishing to view the service at 10 am on Saturday, January 17th and are unable to attend may do so at:

Join us tomorrow! We hope to see you there.

The Remembrance Walk: The Trail from Arkansas to Louisiana will take place from January 10 to March 7, 2026. This initiative marks 200 years since ancestors walked approximately 184 miles from Arkansas to Louisiana.

Participants will meet at 1 PM every Saturday at the Quapaw Nation Community Building, located at 5681 S 630 Rd, Quapaw, OK 74363, to walk 2 miles together before returning for group discussion. Outside of the Saturday walks, individuals are encouraged to track their own miles with the goal of reaching a total of 184 miles by March 1, 2026.

For details or to receive a participation packet, contact the QHPP at (918) 238-3100.

A priority for O-Gah-Pah Communications this year will be the Native Vote Matters 2026 campaign, which focuses on strengthening Native civic participation across our communities. If you are not registered to vote, make 2026 the year you register, confirm your information is current, and encourage your family and friends to do the same. Every election is decided by real people showing up, and when Native voices are heard at the ballot box, our priorities, our future, and our sovereignty are harder to ignore.

Oklahoma’s 2026 primaries (June 16, 2026) and general election (November 3, 2026) are approaching, making the Native American vote matter more than ever this year.

Oklahoma is home to 39 tribal nations, making tribal citizens one of the state’s most significant and community-rooted voting blocs.

With a major statewide cycle ahead, including an open governor’s race, Native turnout can shape not just who wins, but what wins, by forcing real attention to sovereignty and treaty responsibilities, tribal consultation, public safety and jurisdiction, rural infrastructure, health care, education, and economic development across Indian Country and the entire state.
