Movies crafted in Oklahoma as well as movies about Oklahoma are the subjects of this comprehensive survey. Guest speakers from the movie industry and museum staff who developed the exhibit will cover a series of topics including the actors, set construction, filming, costuming, the 101 Ranch, and the challenge of presenting it all in a large-scale museum format.
The Making of Oklahoma: The State's Turbulent Territorial
Past and Its Impact on the Present
1-3 pm * Mondays * Feb 25 - Apr 1
Oklahoma's Native American inhabitants increased from the indigenous tribes prior to the Louisiana Purchase to 67 relocated tribes after the US government designated it "Indian Territory." The primary factors that led to the land runs, the land allotment process and the dissolution of Indian Territory prior to statehood will be the focus of this course. We'll look at Oklahoma's 39 Native American Nations and how their sovereignty and treaties with the US government affect Oklahoma today.
Lectures will be enhanced with tours of exhibits at the Oklahoma History Center, the Overholser Mansion, and the Harn Homestead Museum. This course will feature numerous Oklahoma historians including Reverend David Wilson (Choctaw), Director of the Oklahoma Methodist Indian Conference, David Sapper, Education Director of Harn Homestead, Lisa Escalon, Executive Director of the Overholser Mansion, Glenda Carlisle, Oklahoma author, and Adam McCaleb Education Director of the Chickasaw Cultural Center.
