Chairman Marshall Pierite discussed the historic land swap of the Historic Marksville Park on Indian Country Today. Pierite discussed the Tribe’s plans for the 42 acres of land the Tribe recently regained ownership of and the value of their ancestral lands.
Regaining ownership of the park allows Tunica-Biloxi tribal citizens to reconnect with their roots and celebrate culture on the same land their ancestors inhabited.
The journey to obtain this land spans decades, and Chairman Pierite expresses his gratitude that years of hard work finally paid off.
