Oklahoma (2) 

Indian Territory

Picture: Oklahoma's name is derived from two Choctaw words: "Okla" meaning people and "humma" meaning red, literally meaning red people. There are currently thirty-five tribes of indians living in Oklahoma: the 1970 census shows an Indian population of 97,731, establishing Oklahoma with the largest Indian population of any state in the Union. Descendants of the original sixty-seven tribes inhabiting Indian Territory still live in Oklahoma. The National Y-Indian Guide center Woolaroc Museum, near Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

 

Picture: More than 102,000,000 head of livestock have been ushered through the Historic Stockyards in Oklahoma City since its beginning in 1910. For western wear, supplies or a hearty meal, this is hands-down favorite pick among ranchers, farmers, cattlemen and cowboys.
