Moving to Oklahoma?

Often dismissed as dull and overly religious, Oklahoma has one of the most traumatic histories of any US state. Claimed by French settlers in the early eighteenth century, it was handed over to the Union in the 1803 Louisiana Pact. Deciding that it was useless and boring, Congress made a fateful decision to turn it into Indian Country. Thousands of Native Americans, including those who made up the “Five Civilised Tribes”, were forcibly removed from their lands in Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee and sent on the “Trail of Tears” to resettle in what is now Oklahoma. In 1830, when the ingress began, the area was already occupied by the Osage and Qawpaw tribes; they were forced to share the land with another fifteen tribes initially, ultimately increasing to thirty different groups.

Various laws were passed to protect the land for the “Indians” but they did not deter cowboys and ranchers from driving their cattle north to establish illegal settlements. The Dawes Act of 1887 was ostensibly designed to set aside private land for the natives; in fact, it carved off more than half of the territory for the federal government. The Land Run of 1889 opened the door to settlers to set up homesteads on a first come, first served basis: this involved the Unassigned Lands, but later runs took land directly from the tribes. Soon, towns were literally springing up overnight in the attempt to grab as much as possible. Oklahoma means “red people” in Choctaw, which may be the origin of the term “redneck”. The State of Oklahoma was originally meant to be an Indian only state but when this idea failed, the white settlers kept the name.

The discovery of oil in Tulsa led to a period of great prosperity in the 1920s. This was quickly dashed in the Great Depression and the Great Dust Bowl of the 1930s, during which the people of Oklahoma suffered worse than anyone else in the country. The drought was so severe that thousands of farmers were forced to relocate to the more fertile west. In response, the state created a system of dams and reservoirs to conserve water against future disasters. Today it is rated one of the most business-friendly states, producing natural gas, aircraft and food as well as the black gold that accounts for 17% of the economy. “Labor conquers all things”, says the state motto – the Okies certainly think so.

Although the scenery that most commonly comes to mind is the great expanse of plains on which the farming industry is built, the north-eastern corner of the state is green and hilly. Nestled into the foothills of the Ozarks are the Woolaroc Ranch, a wildlife reserve built by one of the great oil moguls; Tahlequah, the capital of the Cherokee nation; The Five Tribes Museum in Muskogee; and the Art Deco glories of Tulsa. Don’t be fooled by the creative extravagances – Tulsa is known as “the buckle of the Bible Belt”. Also worth a visit is Oklahoma City, which, sadly, is best known for the terrible bombing of 1995. Oklahomans have done their best to learn from the experience; a permanent landscaped memorial has been constructed at the former site of the Murrah building, while the Journal Record Building next door has been turned into the Museum and Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism. More light hearted is the Cowboy Hall of Fame.

The people of this state are famed for their friendliness and generosity but not so much for their culture. John Steinbeck’s depiction of the undereducated farmers in The Grapes of Wrath took hold of the public education. Over three hundred museums, the Oklahoma Mozart Festival in Bartlesville, five major ballet companies and a flourishing jazz scene prove him wrong. Oh and Brad Pitt was born here. There’s no need for doom or gloom in this place.
