America is steeped in the traditions of the west and the American Indian, and no state boasts a richer heritage of both than Oklahoma.
Indians from more than 67 tribes, including the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole, Osage, Cheyenne, Sac and Fox, Delaware, Apache and Pawnee, call Oklahoma their home today. Such famous Indians as Sequoyah, Black Beaver, Jim Thorpe and Maria Tallchief contributed to Oklahoma's development.
The state is also the setting for vast horse and cattle ranches, rodeos and working cowboys. Such famous cowboys as Bill Pickett, Tom Mix, Gene Autry and Will Rogers hail from Oklahoma.
