[[File:Indian Country-Territory 1834.jpg|thumb|left|Figure 1. Oklahoma was part of Indian Territory or what was also known as Indian Country.]]__NOTOC__
The state of Oklahoma is unique among US states in that it was intended to be, at least wide areas of it, a home for Native Americans who were moved there as the United States expanded and people moved into areas that once had Native Americans. However, over time, Oklahoma began to also emerge as a state with settlers who moved in from neighboring regions.
