The Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma is a federally recognized sovereign tribal government headquartered in Miami, Oklahoma, operating under a constitution approved by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior on August 13, 1997. The tribe is a confederation of the Kaskaskia, Peoria, Piankashaw, and Wea nations, formally united in 1854 and federally reinstated in 1978 after termination in 1959.

Commercial enterprises include Buffalo Run Casino & Resort, Peoria Ridge Golf Course, and Henley Custom building services, each wholly owned by the tribe.

The tribe generates revenue through commercial enterprise operations (casino gaming, golf, construction) and tribal vehicle registration fees, supplemented by federal grants and intergovernmental funding for health, housing, and welfare programs. Service delivery occurs through a network of eight offices across Miami, Oklahoma, including the main headquarters at 118 S. Eight Tribes Trail, the Peoria Tribal Gaming Commission, Health and Human Services, Adawe Community Center, Peoria Housing Authority, Woodland Academy Learning Center, Peoria CARE office, and a 5,000 sq ft Community Center.
