  • American Indians in Oklahoma OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
    American Indians in Oklahoma OKLAHOMA HISTORY CENTER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Nawa! That means hello in the Pawnee language. In Oklahoma, thirty-eight federally recognized tribes represent about 8 percent of the population. Most of these tribes came from places around the country but were removed from their homelands to Oklahoma in the nineteenth century. Their diverse cultures and rich heritage make Oklahoma (which combines the Choctaw words “okla” and “huma,” or “territory of the red people”) a special state. American Indians have impacted Oklahoma’s growth from territory to statehood and have made it into the great state it is today. This site allows you to learn more about American Indian tribes in Oklahoma. First, read the background pages for more information, then go through the biographies of influential American Indians to learn more about him or her. The activities section has coloring sheets, games, and other activities, which can be done as part of a group or on your own. Map of Indian Territory prior to 1889 (ITMAP.0035, Oklahoma Historical Society Map Collection, OHS). American Indians │2016 │1 Before European Contact The first people living on the prairie were the ancestors of various American Indian tribes. Through archaeology, we know that the plains have been inhabited for centuries by groups of people who lived in semi-permanent villages and depended on planting crops and hunting animals. Many of the ideas we associate with American Indians, such as the travois, various ceremonies, tipis, earth lodges, and controlled bison hunts, come from these first prairie people. Through archaeology, we know that the ancestors of the Wichita and Caddo tribes have been in present-day Oklahoma for more than two thousand years.

  • State of Oklahoma Federally Recognized Tribes
    United States Department of the Interior OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR Washington, D.C. 20240 JUN 11 2020 Memorandum To: Tara Sweeney, Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs Through: Kyle Scherer, Deputy Solicitor for Indian Affairs Eric N. Shepard, Associate Solicitor, Division of Indian Affairs John Hay, Acting Assistant Solicitor, Branch of Environment and Lands Division of Indian Affairs From: Chris King, Attorney-Advisor, Division of Indian Affairs Subject: Federal Jurisdiction Status of Oklahoma Tribes in 1934 This memorandum addresses the statutory authority of the Secretary of the Interior (“Secretary”) to acquire land in trust for Indian tribes in Oklahoma pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 (“IRA”). In connection with fee-to-trust applications pending before the Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”), you have asked how Oklahoma tribes may be deemed eligible for trust land acquisitions in light of recent guidance issued by the Office of the Solicitor (“Solicitor’s Office”).1 For the reasons explained below, we conclude that all federally recognized tribes in Oklahoma fall within either Step One or Step Two of the Solicitor’s Guidance, in that (1) post- 1934 legislation specifically made the IRA applicable to them or (2) the text of the IRA itself is definitive evidence demonstrating that a tribe was “under federal jurisdiction” in 1934. These determinations under the Solicitor’s Guidance are consistent with previous analysis relied on to find the Secretary had authority to acquire land in trust for Oklahoma tribes. I. Background The Department’s land acquisition regulations require the Secretary to consider whether there is statutory authority for the trust acquisition and, if such authority exists, to consider any limitations contained in it.
