Oklahoma is a state in the United States situated in the Southern Great Plains and Eastern Woodlands regions. Oklahoma became the 46th state in the Union in 1907. The state's name comes from the Choctaw words okla meaning people and humma meaning red, literally meaning "red people" and was chosen by Allen Wright, Principal Chief of the Choctaw Nation between 1866 and 1870.

Oklahoma is a state with a rich history, including its days as a frontier state, it being a destination of recently freed slaves looking for opportunity and equality, and being at the heart of the oil boom in the early 20th Century.

Most notably, Oklahoma has the nation's second largest Native American population. In honor of its large Native American population, and for tourism purposes, Oklahoma is called "Native America." Oklahoma's early history is forever tied to the Trail of Tears, which was the forced removal of the Five Civilized Tribes from the southeastern United States to present-day Oklahoma. As a testament to the state's western and Native American heritage, Tulsa is the home of the world-renowned Gilcrease Museum, which houses the world's largest, most comprehensive collection of American Western and Native American art, artifacts, manuscripts, documents, and maps.
