Oklahoma is a state located in the southern Great Plains and Eastern Woodlands regions of the United States, and is part of a region commonly known as the American "Heartland." The Congressional Quarterly and Census report place Oklahoma in the Southern United States. The regional influences are readily apparent in the state's largest urban areas, adding to Oklahoma's unique character. Southern influence and its charm are most notable in southeastern Oklahoma. This part of the state was earlier settled by many Southerners displaced by reconstruction during the Post-Civil War era, and is commonly known as Little Dixie.

Oklahoma became the 46th state in the Union on November 16th, 1907. The state's name comes from the Choctaw words okla meaning people and humma meaning red, literally meaning "red people"[2] and was chosen by Allen Wright, Principal Chief of the Choctaw Nation between 1866 and 1870. [3] It is a state with a colorful 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. Individuals from Oklahoma are known as Oklahomans or "Okies" (though the latter phrase is considered mildly offensive).

Most notably, Oklahoma has the nation's second largest American Indian population. In honor of its large American Indian 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 American Indian heritage, Oklahoma (Tulsa) is the home of the world-renowned Gilcrease Museum, which houses the world's largest, most comprehensive collection of American Western and American Indian art, artifacts, manuscripts, documents, and maps.
