WELCOME TO THE
ABSENTEE SHAWNEE TRIBE

The Absentee Shawnee Tribe is primarily located in the heart of central Oklahoma with approximately 3,400+ members living in all parts of the world. Our tribal government complex is located in Shawnee Oklahoma. Our banner and logo feature Tecumseh, a Shawnee warrior and visionary leader, who worked to unite tribes in a common homeland where Indians could live under their own laws and leaders. He died in October 1813, in battle near the area of present day Thamesville, in Toronto, Canada. The LI-SI-WI-NWI in our logo means “Among the Shawnee”.

ELECTION ANNOUNCEMENT 2012

In a joint meeting, on January, 24, 2012, between the Executive Committee, the Election Commission and the potential candidates of the upcoming election, a decision was made that the Primary Election on March 17, 2012 will not be held this year.

This decision was made because there were no more than two (2) candidates running for the positions due for election this year. All candidates were advanced to the June Run-off Election which will be held on Saturday, June 16, 2012, as required by the AST Constitution.

This is the first time since 1996, when the enactment of the two (2) election processes began, that this has occurred.
