CHOCTAW NATION OPENS FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER

Friday, August 25th 2023, 2:47 PM CDT

DURANT, Okla. (KTEN) — The Choctaw Nation celebrated the opening of the Ahni
Family Justice Center on Friday.



Ahni is the Choctaw word for "hope." The Ahni Center will offer services to
abused or neglected children.



Tribal prosecutor Kara Bacon said this is a necessary service to help kids
receive care.



"All these departments are coming together with a common mission, and that
mission is: Not only to protect our children, but to ensure we are giving them
the tools that they need to overcome the things in their life they didn't
deserve," Bacon said. 



This is the first tribal child advocacy center in the United States.
