On November 16, 1907, Oklahoma officially became the 46th state in the Union, bringing together the Oklahoma and Indian Territories into one proud state. In this episode, we dive into the rich history of these two distinct regions, the leaders who fought for statehood, and the struggles and compromises that shaped the new state’s identity.

We’ll explore the Land Run of 1889, the Native American push for the State of Sequoyah, and the federal decision to merge the territories. Hear how Oklahoma’s unique blend of settler and Native American cultures led to both celebration and challenge, and how the state forged its identity through hard work, resilience, and pride.
Join us for a story as big as the plains and as bold as the people who call it home!
