Oklahoma - The Sooner State

Oklahoma is the place to visit if you are fascinated by Native American history and culture.

Oklahoma translated means ‘land of the Red Man’, and is home to more Native Americans than any other state – at least 67 nations or tribes and 39 tribal headquarters. Tremendous opportunities to interact and experience these cultures are at powwows, dances & festivals, art galleries, cultural centers, and Native guided tours.

Oklahoma’s cowboy and ranching heritage stretches back the famed Chisholm Trail, and this cowboy culture is still strong. Oklahoma has more horses than any other state, and host’s numerous annual international equestrian shows.

Get a good taste of cowboy life at a variety of rodeos, guest ranches and live cattle auctions. The fabled “Main Street of America” crosses Oklahoma for 392-plus miles. Route 66 enthusiasts in cars, in RV’s, or on motorcycles will tell you there’s no better place to cruise. Following other scenic byways and historic trails will help you find 12 distinct ecosystems, home to landscapes that range from mesas and sand dunes to wetlands and waterfalls, and plenty of mountains, unexplored wilderness and prairies.
