Native American history
Hello all- Looks like I may be spending a couple more months here in OK, which is good cept for missing my SO of course. I've always been a history fan as well as very very interested in NA culture and history. Obviously OK has arich and proud NA background and I just would like to find out even more about it. I've been to Tahlequah and the Cherokee Capitol, been to Ft gibson, the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, but I want to know where I can go in this great state to get a real good feel for the NA culture. What cities or events are there for someone to learn more about it? Obviously there has to be a lot of things I've missed, and would love to check out in the near future. THanks all for your help.  |

Anadarko would be one place LeaveWI. It's in the Southwestern part of the state.
Anadarko, Oklahoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Anadarko is named after the Nadaco, a Caddoan band now affiliated with the Caddo Nation. The term "nadako" means place of the bumblebees in the Caddo language. Incidentally, the Caddo are a federally recognized American Indian tribal entity for which Caddo County is named; Caddo County is part of the former reservation of the Caddo/Wichita/Western Delaware (aka Absentee Delaware), prior to allotment in the post-Dawes Allotment Era."

Take a drive to Okmulgee, Oklahoma. Check out the Creek Council House Museum, for history of my tribe, the Muscogee Creek. |
