Extractions: OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY The Archives and Manuscripts Division consists of five departments within its structure. First and foremost is the Indian Archives. Created in 1934, the collection contains 3.5 million documents pertaining to 67 tribes who were indigenous to Oklahoma or were forcibly removed west of the Mississippi River and resettled within the borders of the state during the l9th Century. Of these records, the Five Civilized Tribes are most prominent. The Newspaper Department was founded in 1893. The members of the Territorial Press Association were instrumental in the development of the Historical Society. Their foresight in determining that local news was important to retain as a historical record is why the Society has one of the most complete collections of newspapers in the United States. In 1957, the Society began to microfilm the collection. Consequently, the collection contains 30,000 reels of film from 1844 to the present.

Extractions: Oklahoma Newspaper Project Oklahoma history consists of the ebb and flow of humankind from a variety of diverse cultures. During the early 19th century, no less than 64 distinct Indian tribes were removed from points around the country and resettled in Indian Territory Oklahoma. The Five Civilized Tribes once removed were drawn into the Civil War. In the latter half of the 19th century, non Indian settlement began to overtake the lands of the various tribes. With the various land openings to settlement by non Indians, Oklahoma Territory was created and Statehood occurred in 1907. The development of oil and gas industry began in earnest during the first part of the 20th century. The Depression era depleted the population of the state, but those who stayed helped build a better Oklahoma, said William Welge, Director of the Oklahoma Historical Society Archives Division. WELCOME OKLAHOMA NEWSPAPER PROJECT This was the first newspaper, per se, published in Indian Territory, It was printed in both English and Cherokee with the first issue being published on September 26, 1844, Publication was suspended several times, the first being in 1851 or 1852 due to funding; after the Civil War publication was resumed in April of 1870, again using volume 1, number 1. A fire at the plant interrupted publication 1875, from that point the Cherokee Advocate continued until 1907 when tribal political difficulties were responsible for its demise.

They settled on the hills and little prairies of the eastern section and built separate organized states and communities. The Cherokee particularly had a highly Europeanized culture, with a written language, invented by their great leader Sequoyah, and highly developed institutions. Some of the Cherokee were slaveholders and ran their agricultural properties in the traditional Southern plantation pattern; others were small farmers. The Five Civilized Tribes clashed briefly with the Plains Indians, particularly the Osage, but they were for a time free from white interference, and they were able to establish a civilization that strongly affected the whole history of the region.

Extractions: Oologah, Oklahoma History Historic Oologah, birthplace of The Cherokee Kid, Will Rogers , is 30 minutes northeast of Tulsa on Highway 169 in northwest Rogers County. Oologah emerged as an Indian Territory coal mining boom town. It soon became a shipping point for coal mined in the area because of its location on the Iron Mountain and Southern railroad line. In 1906, when Oologah was still a town in Indian Territory, the Bank of Oolagah was built due to the need for a safe depository and other general financial operations. It was one of the first banks in northeastern Oklahoma. The only bank in the area for over twenty years, and it existed as a commercial building for approximately eighty years. Will Rogers said he told folks he was from Claremore because no one but an Indian could pronounce Oologah. The town's name is a Cherokee word meaning "dark cloud." Oologah (pronounced oo'-la-gawh) was also spelled Oolagah prior to Oklahoma 's statehood (1907) and still is at some historic buildings.

Extractions: n the beginning, sometime during 1897, settlers from all over began to gather forming a community due to the fertile prairie and huge coal beds beneath the earth. The new settlement, approximately a mile east of today's town site, was named after respected surveyor and engineer, Dr. A.H. Collins. He was persuaded to move his post office to the new town site from his allotment located two miles north by the folks' promise to name the town after him. The Collins Post Office was established on May 26, 1897, then the name was changed to Collinsville on June 16, 1898. According to an article in Volume 1, No. 1, of the first Collinsville News issue, dated May 11, 1899: "In accordance with the court proceedings held at Muscogee, Indian Territory Northern District, on April 1, 1899, in which the petition for incorporation of the Town of Collinsville, Indian Territory, was granted, the same bearing Hon. Judge William Springer's signature." The Old Town moved to it's present location shortly after the Santa Fe Railroad was built during the summer of 1899. Present day Collinsville is at the intersection of hwy169 and state highway 20, and is located from 97th East Avenue to 145th East Avenue, and 126th Street North to 166th Street North. Highway 75 is four miles west of downtown.

Extractions: In the next seven issues of the Newsletter, I am going to tell you a little about Oklahoma, specifically the Panhandle, aka No Mans Land, the most western area being Cimarron County, home of the Black Mesa. As we get closer to Convention time, I will of course give you Convention specifics. I also want to introduce you to our committee members, so you will have some idea of who you are talking to when you spot one of us at the Convention. We will be wearing Co-host tee-shirts bearing the Convention logo and our name tags, and we will all welcome questions and suggestionseven criticism, if its nicely put. First our committee: Many of you know Allan Griggs, who runs the Kenton Mercantile. Kenton is a fairly small town (population 35) near the Black Mesa. Kenton has many claims to fame in addition to Allan, for instance it is the only town in the state of Oklahoma that is in the Mountain Time Zone rather than the Central Time Zone. Allan will be on hand at the Merc almost non-stop during the Convention, as the Merc will be the registration site for the Convention, as well as the only place in the world to have one of Allans fine dinosaur burgers. If you havent yet met him, he will be featured in a 30-minute video that you can view at the site of the Highpointers Mercantile in the Swallow Falls State Park Campground at Convention Maryland 2001.

Extractions: STATE SEAL OF OKLAHOMA Centered by a five-pointed star, each ray contains the seals of the Five Civilized Tribes. In the center of the star are an Indian and pioneer shaking hands under a figure holding balanced scales, representing Justice. The star is surrounded by 45 smaller stars representing the other states admitted to the U.S. before Oklahoma. Oklahoma's state seal has a dark blue background. The large center star is white, the smaller stars are gold and the ring around the edge of the seal is gold. The letters within it are dark blue. STATE FLAG An Osage warrior's buckskin shield, decorated with pendant eagle feathers is the basic design. In crossed positions over the shield are an Indian peace pipe and an olive branch, the white man's symbol of peace. The flag is a rich sky blue. The word "Oklahoma" is white. The Osage war shield is tan, outlined in red, the peace pipe is white with red tips and the olive branch is green. O nce called Indian Territory because it was home to the five "civilized" tribes, Oklahoma was one of the last states to join the United States (1907). Oklahoma is situated in the southern edge of the Great Plains. Though most think of Oklahoma as being treeless and flat, this is far from the truth in many parts of the state. The area around Tulsa, located in northeastern Oklahoma, at the edge of the Ouachita Mountains with it's many scenic reservoirs and rolling hills, looks much like the Hill Country area of central Texas. Oklahoma has over 7 million acres of woodlands, so this cancels the rumor of the state being a treeless plain as well.

Extractions: University of Oklahoma History David Ross Boyd, the first president and very distinguished educator, was hired by mail. He traveled by train to Norman, Oklahoma (Oklahoma Territory at that time), over one hundred years ago, expecting to find a great institution. He thought he would be taken to some beautiful, gothic building like Evans Hall or Bizzell Memorial Library with its gardens. He was certain he would see a campus like the one you will visit today. When he got off the train a local businessman, who was helping to start the University, met him. Boyd immediately asked, "Where's the campus?" The civic leader brought him to this place, but instead of the great institution he expected, he arrived at nothing but flat prairie. Historic records show that there was not a single tree, not even a tall shrub, for five miles in any direction. Nine hundred people lived in Norman and there was not one paved street. There were eleven students, operating out of a three-room building on Main Street. That was the University of Oklahoma. There stood David Ross Boyd, the distinguished educator, in the middle of an open field looking at a prairie that went on forever with not a single building in sight, on a hot, dusty Oklahoma day. Having seen this place for the first time, he looked around him and said to the businessman, "What possibilities! What possibilities!" That is the spirit of the University of Oklahoma. It is an institution that believes in possibilities.

Extractions: Oklahoma! Home Where we are Okies, Famous and Otherwise Politics ... home Oklahoma History in a Nutshell Oklahoma, during prehistoric times, as evidenced by the fossil record, was part of the great sea that covered it, Kansas, and Texas. Thankfully, God saw fit to uplift the land. It was a close vote but He also lifted up Texas too. Early settlers of European stock came to the country claming to have discovered it. Someone needs to explain how they can have discovered it when the Native American Indians were already here. Frenchman Jean Pierre Chouteau was the first settler to make a permanent post west of the Mississippi River. He did so in Oklahoma. Before him, the Spanish conquistadores came looking for riches in the New World, which, by this time, was discovered to have the same geological age as the rest of the Earth. Cortes and Coronado are two of these explorers from Spain to reportedly travel to Oklahoma. Even before that, however, European visitors left evidence of their travels to our State by carving graffiti on our rocks. They were the Vikings. The carvings are runes. The rocks are at Heavener. The State became a State in 1907. We have been leaving our mark on the world ever since.
