Indian Territory Becomes the State of Oklahoma
By Sharon Fabian |
|
1 Before Oklahoma was a state, it was Indian Territory. Native Americans who had been moved from their homelands on the East Coast were relocated into an area on the southern edge of the Great Plains that included the current state of Oklahoma. Since the area was designated as Indian Territory, settlers were not allowed to claim land or settle there.
