‘Native America: The Road to Recovery’ airs weekly on KJRH 2 Works For You in Tulsa.

TULSA, Okla — Content Creators Digital Media is working this year with KJRH-TV, the E.W. Scripps-owned NBC affiliate, in Tulsa to produce a series on the CARES Act and its roll out to Native American tribes in Oklahoma.
The series airs every Thursday night at 10 p.m. on KJRH 2 Works For You.
Oklahoma is home to 39 federally recognized tribes and received nearly $2-billion in federal CARES Act funds. These funds were tied directly to the federal stimulus passed by congress in March 2020.
As part of the Facebook Journalism Project funding, E.W. Scripps is using the funds to highlight the CARES Act rollout.
Rep. Tom Cole, R-Oklahoma, said in a legislative forum update to the Tulsa Regional Chamber this week, the $8-billion appropriation in CARES Act funds to tribal nations was the largest transfer of federal dollars to tribes in history.

Content Creators is grateful for this opportunity to work with KJRH-TV and showcase these efforts being implemented by tribes in this region.
