Tribes Indigenous To Oklahoma
Because Oklahoma is situated between the Great Plains and the Ozark Plateau in the Gulf of Mexico watershed, the western part of the state is subjected to extended periods of drought and high winds in the region may then generate Dust storms, and the eastern part of the state is humid subtropical climate zone. Tribes that are indigenous to the current-day State of Oklahoma include both agrarian tribes settling in the eastern part of the state and Hunter-gatherer tribes adopting the Horse culture settling in the western part of the state. These indigenous tribes are the only tribes currently residing in the State of Oklahoma that would qualify as having Aboriginal title to their land. Other tribes received their land either by treaty via Land grant from the Federal government of the United States or they purchased the land receiving Fee simple title.
