United States of America


Oklahoma ; USA.

 This is a great card from Oklahoma USA showing the various Indian tribes areas and their names within the state.
This is a very interesting card and shows the many and varied tribal names.. When recently visiting Oklahoma I visited a reservation of Choctaw and Chickasaw peoples ..looking at their culture and the so many ways that they live today..a special museum and are showing various clothes the teaching of their native languages along with their many arts and crafts,,I was dissapointed that we couldn't stay longer as it was late in the day and the area was closing..A special thanks to my friends who took me there for this visit.. I really loved Oklahoma.  Thank you Lukas for this nice map card.
 INDIAN TERRITORY  OKLAHOMA
