SALES AND INDIRECT TAX BASICS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
2022-11-01 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Chicago) | ONLINE
Topic: Tax Planning

Hosted by OKSBDC This event is a collaboration between OKSBDC and our professional partners at BDO USA, LLP. This conversation will provide an overview of the some of the State and Local Tax (SALT) issues presented when you start doing business outside Oklahoma. In June of 2018 the U.S. Supreme Court issued its seminal decision in the Wayfair case, which resulted in a few changes. Listen and learn if your company should be collecting sales tax in other states. This presentation will be given in a format where you can understand them as a business person who is just trying to stay in compliance and will answer several questions around, Should I be charging sales tax outside of Oklahoma? Do I need to file in other states even if I’m not selling a taxable item? Does it matter if I have inventory in other states? Attendees will have the chance to ask the experts their small business questions and will receive a copy of the presentation.
Speaker(s): Tom Smith, BDO Southwest SALT Region Leader Tulsa Office Managing Partner

Topic: Celebrating Culture & Aiming Past the Horizon

Speakers: Kelli Mosteller, Ph.D, Executive Director of Harvard University Native American Program and Mo Brings Plenty, Actor & Rancher

About the Speakers:

Dr. Kelli Mosteller has served as the Executive Director of the Harvard University Native
American Program since the summer of 2022. In her role, she works with Harvard students, faculty,
staff, and the public toward the mission of supporting programming that fosters education,
scholarship, and builds community, and collaborative efforts that advance research and the well-
being of Indigenous communities.
Before her time at Harvard, she was the Executive Director for the Citizen Potawatomi
Nation Cultural Heritage Center (CHC) from 2010 to 2022. During her tenure, she oversaw the
tribe’s cultural services including a museum, cultural classes and programming, tribal archives, and
historic preservation. She also led her team in a multi-year renovation of the CHC’s exhibits,
resulting in the museum’s recognition as a Top Ten Native Cultural Center in the U.S. by the
Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums in 2020.
As a tribal citizen, her most cherished role over the years has been as a mentor for Citizen
Potawatomi youth, facilitator of women’s ceremonies, and auntie to the eagles at the CPN Eagle
Aviary.
Mo Brings Plenty is an enrolled Lakota who hails from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. His
traditional name — given to him as a young boy — is Ta Sunke Wospapi (“catches his
horse”); it befits a man who spends more time on his horses than anywhere else. As a
Makes Room on his mother’s side and a Brings Plenty on his father's, he is the stock of his
grandfathers who fought at the Battle at Little Big Horn. Those familiar with the battle will
know the strengths of those names and understand why Mo sees the world through the lens
of the forces and sacrifices his family and ancestors made so that he could be here today.
His relatives long passed are an intrinsic part of everything he does: every decision he
makes and everywhere he goes.
As an actor, Mo is best known in his self-titled role as “Mo Brings Plenty” Chief Thomas
Rainwater’s enforcer on the Taylor Sheridan/ViacomCBS record-breaking juggernaut series
Yellowstone. Moviegoers can now catch him playing “Shep Wauneka” in the newly released
Jurassic World Dominion (2022) and as “Ottawa Jones” in Showtime’s Peabody award-
winning limited series The Good Lord Bird (2021). He has played “Crazy Horse” & “Sitting
Bull” and many other historical Indian notables who have solidified their place in this
Country’s history. And he has spent a fair amount of time in the biopic world twice
portraying Charlie Soap — the husband of the first woman elected Chief of the Cherokee
Nation, the late Wilma Mankiller– in The Cherokee Word for Water and Gloria Steinem’s The
Glorias, respectively.
Mo Brings Plenty is an actor, horse stunt rider, rancher, and American Indian storyline
consultant. But above all, he is a man who wholeheartedly believes in human kindness, and
he trusts the good in humanity still exists and feels it just needs to be dusted off a bit. Out
of respect and honor for those who have come before us, Mo knows we have a profound
obligation to leave a livable planet for those who will follow after we are gone, and he starts
and ends every day, with thoughts of how he and we can make the world a better place
while we are here.
When Mo isn’t working as an actor, he can be found ranching or seeking ways to give back
to his Lakota communities and Indian Country — ways that include preserving culture,
tradition and seeking cultural truth in diversity.
