More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

  • The Power of Endowment SIMPLE
    O K LAHOMA CITY COMMUNI TY FOUNDATI ON 2006 ANNUAL REPORT The Power of Endowment SIMPLE. FLEXIBLE. FOREVER. JOHN E. KIRKPATRICK 1908-2006 John Kirkpatrick was most of all a man of very generous spirit. He cared about the welfare of people and organizations and contributed in ways that he thought would encou rage opportunity and the chance to succeed. He already had a private foundation in the mid 1960s when he asked his attorney friend, Don ellisonison, to research the idea of a commu nity foundation. Mr. Kirkpatrick thought that it could provide an opportunity for other donors to m ake gifts as well as serve as a more flexible vehicle for h is own giving. In 1969 he and Ellison incorporated the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. While they enlisted other community leaders like Dean McGee, Harvey Everest and Babe Eddie to serve on the board, the new community foundation was clearly "john Kirkpatrick's project." "l think he was the only one who really understood what he was trying to do," said a bank trust officer. But john Kirkpatrick gave the new community foundation more than just a vision. He contributed generously in those first few years, he encouraged his friends and colleagues to establish funds, and he offered to match gifts for endowment funds for charities. He nurtured the organization's administrative needs, led its board for the first IO years, and provided the long term oversight that allowed the concept of the "community's endowment" to be established and to thrive. When this organization moved from Mr.

  • Executive Summary Impact Analysis of Oklahoma City's
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY IMPACT ANALYSIS OF OKLAHOMA CITY’S MAPS AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT CENTRAL CITY INVESTMENTS prepared for Greater Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce August 2003 Revised December 2005 Revised February 2009 by Larkin Warner, Ph.D. Regents Professor Emeritus Oklahoma State University and Eric Long Manager Research and Information Services Economic Development Greater Oklahoma City Chamber CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The first version of this report, The Impact of MAPS and Other Significant Central City Investments, was prepared in 2003. Its purpose was to review the impact of MAPS (Metropolitan Area Projects) and other major capital investments on the core area of central Oklahoma City and to examine the area’s basic economic and demographic structure. The report was revised and updated in 2005. Another revision has been prepared during 2008-2009. This 2008 version builds upon the original 2003 report and 2005 revision. The executive summary highlights the key findings of this research. In 1993 voters approved a municipal sales tax to be used to finance a set of major capital improvements, largely in the downtown area. The overall cost was in the range of $360 million. Projects included a minor league ballpark, trolley bus service, a canal, extensive improvement to the Cox Convention Center, construction of Civic Center Music Hall, construction of the Ford Center, construction of the Ronald J. Norick Library, and improvements to the North Canadian River (now Oklahoma River). All central city projects were operating by the close of 2004 with the Oklahoma River to follow in 2005. A remarkable flow of other public and private investments has improved the economy and attractiveness of Oklahoma City’s central core – Table 1 summarizes these capital investments completed or in progress.
