This is one of a series of States/Provinces/Countries tags made by various people. I will accept trades for other States/Provinces/Countries pathtags from people that need to complete a set of the original 50 states and produced one of the fifty states. I've turned off the trade button for this pathtag, due to the number of people who did not produce one of the original fifty states, but keep offering trades. Please email me you wish to trade, let me know which of the fifty states you produced, and I'll be glad to trade.
Beginning in the 1820s, the Five Civilized Tribes from the southeastern United States were relocated to Indian Territory over numerous routes, the most famous being the Cherokee "Trail of Tears." Forced off their ancestral lands by state and federal governments, the tribes suffered great hardships during the rigorous trips west. The survivors eventually recovered from the dislocation through hard work and communal support. Gradually, new institutions and cultural adaptations emerged and began a period of rapid developments often called the "Golden Age" of Indian Territory.
Following the destruction of the Civil War, Oklahoma became a part of the booming cattle industry, ushering in the era of the cowboy. Western expansion reached the territory in the late 1800s, sparking a controversy over the fate of the land. The government relented to pressure and opened the land to non-Indian settlement.
The government opened the western parts of the territory to settlers by holding six land runs between 1889 and 1895. Settlers came from across the nation and even other countries to stake their claims.
In time, the Indian Territory was gradually reduced to the eastern half of the area by the organization of Oklahoma Territory. The citizens of Indian Territory tried, in 1905, to gain admission to the union as the State of Sequoyah, but failed because Congress did not want two new Western states, Sequoyah and Oklahoma. Citizens then joined to seek admission of a single state to the Union.
On November 16, 1907 at 10:16 am, Oklahoma became a state, when President Theodore Roosevelt signed the statehood proclamation. Just after noon on the same day in Oklahoma, a ceremonial marriage joined Oklahoma and Indian Territory into one state.
Many Native Americans continue to live in Oklahoma, especially in the eastern part. There are 39 tribes and nations of American Indians with headquarters in Oklahoma. Descendants of the original 67 tribes inhabiting Indian Territory still live here, as do the descendants of the hardy souls who ran not only for the land, but also for their dreams.
"Labor Omnia Vincit" - Labor conquers all things is a fitting motto for both the Native Americans forced to relocated to Indian Territory and the settlers who participated in the six land runs.
The original design of this pathtag included a prairie schooner to represent those who participated in the land runs, but proved to be too difficult a design to produce as a pathtag.
This is one of a series of States/Provinces/Countries tags made by various people. I will only accept trades for other States/Provinces/Countries pathtags. Since there are very few of these left, I'm limiting trades to those who produced a state pathtag for this pathtag club and need this one to complete their state collection.
