Oklahoma a Century of Exploration 1907 2007 Oklahoma A Century of Exploration 1907 2007 Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System A COMPONENT UNIT OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For The Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007 Oklahoma A Century of Exploration This report contains six sections, each with a cover image depicting Oklahoma’s rich history of exploration and discovery. The historical aspects of this report were conceived to celebrate our state’s Centennial and pay tribute to a few of the people and events that have helped shape Oklahoma’s past, present and future. Oklahoma has survived several tragic events that will never be forgotten. The displacement of our American Indian tribes, the Dust Bowl drought, the untimely passing of Will Rogers and Wiley Post, and the Oklahoma City bombing were all events that tested the resolve of our people; yet, Oklahomans have always found the courage and strength of character to emerge from adversity to overcome these trials through faith, hard work, and good humor. On the cover - The Guardian statue was placed atop the dome of the Oklahoma State Capitol on June 7, 2002. Sculpted by Enoch Kelly Haney, Principal Chief of the Seminole Nation and former Oklahoma State Senator, the Guardian represents the significance of Native American history and culture to our state by depicting a proud Native American warrior. The artist feels that the statue represents ideas found in all cultures. “The image is of standing one’s ground. I feel it embodies values shared by all Oklahomans. It represents the deep love of family and home we all share, and the desire to protect them.” Cover photo courtesy of Hugh Scott Photography Oklahoma A Century of Exploration 1907 2007 Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System A COMPONENT UNIT OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For The Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007 Prepared by the staff of the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System.

  • 2007 National Conference of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums
    2 2007 National Conference of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums About the Conference Logo The conference logo incorporates The Guard- ian by renowned Master Artist, Seminole Chief, and retired Oklahoma State Senator Kelly Haney. The sculpture stands prominently atop the Oklahoma State Capitol. Rising to a height of twenty-two feet and weighing 4,000 pounds, it embodies the diversity within the proud and strong population of Oklahoma, while serving as a reminder of tumultuous times. The Guardian signifies the thousands of Na- tive Americans that were forced from their homes during the 1800s and exemplifies the valor of Oklahomans and their ability to overcome tragedies. Senator Kelly Haney, speaking as The Guard- ian, provides this insight into the symbolism of the statue: “My lance pierces my legging and is planted in the ground. I will not be moved from my duty, from my love of Oklahoma and all of its people—people who have come from far and near, people who have withstood adversities and hardships, and still stand strong and proud. I will stand my ground. I will stand guard over our great state, over our majestic land, over our values, I will not be moved.” Senator Haney’s message to you, as a “Guardian of Culture,” is to, “Dream big. Work hard. Believe deeply … for this is just the beginning. Let us all rise to our potential.” The Artist Truly a modern-day renaissance man, Enoch Kelly Haney’s talents span two separate spheres— namely politics and art. Born on November 12, 1940, to William Woodrow and Hattie Louise Haney, Enoch grew up in Seminole, Oklahoma.
