SUMMARY:CANCELED - 2022 Serpent Mound Events
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 UPDATE:  \n\n6/15/2022\n\nThe charter bus trip to Ser
 pent Mound in Ohio scheduled for June 17-20 has been CANCELED due to the r
 ise in positive COVID-19 cases in northeast Oklahoma and Adams County, Ohi
 o. Additionally, tribal offices in Miami and Guymon will be operating at a
  limited capacity beginning Thursday, June 16, as the Tribe regresses from
  Phase 3 to Phase 2 of our Tribal Reopening Amidst COVID-19 Safely Policy 
 (TRACS).\n\nThe Shawnee Tribe Office of Emergency Management (STOEM) conti
 nuously monitors COVID-19 infection rates and other pertinent data to ensu
 re our staff and citizens’ health. STOEM outlined protocols to ensure th
 is trip could continue as planned while minimizing the risk of spreading 
 the virus amongst our citizens, staff and the public. However, we saw a sh
 arp uptick in the number of our community members testing positive for, or
  being exposed to the virus, over the past two days, which led to the deci
 sion to cancel this year’s trip and adjust the operations at our Shawnee
  Tribe facilities.\n\nWe are disappointed to not have the gathering we hop
 ed for this solstice, but the health of our citizens, staff and community 
 is paramount. We apologize for the inconveniences this may cause those who
  were planning to join us in Ohio and have already notified and processed 
 refunds for those who were registered to attend the bus trip.\n\nView the
