Oklahoma

Monday August 16, 2010 - Oklahoma is a state located in the South Central region of the United States.
The name Oklahoma comes from the Choctaw phrase, okla humma, literally meaning “red people”. Equivalent to the English word Indian, okla humma was a phrase in the Choctaw language used to describe the Native American race as a whole. Oklahoma later became the, de facto, name for the Oklahona Territory and it was officially approved in 1890, two years after the area was opened to European settlers.
