Once the land of cowboys and Indians Oklahoma has kept detailed documentation of its cultural history, it is home to more Native American tribes than any other State except California, with 39 tribal headquarters and members of at least 67 tribes.
Today, visitors will find Native American art galleries, museums, historic sites, pow wows, dances and festivals all providing an insight into Native American culture. Other aspects of the State’s heritage are apparent at the Oklahoma Prison Rodeo in McAlester to the east, the Oklahoma International Bluegrass Festival in Guthrie to the north, and in many unique rural festivals. Fortunes made in oilfields left a legacy in northeastern Oklahoma that includes mansions, museums, art galleries and Art Deco architecture.

With state parks, mountains, plains and forests, Oklahoma's landscape is almost as varied as its culture. Some 50 State parks and many other natural havens showcase Oklahoma’s 11 distinct eco-regions and plentiful unspoilt beauty. The plains and mountains in West Oklahoma are a haven for outdoor recreational enthusiasts, especially in Fort Cobb Lake State Park. In East Oklahoma, you'll find the Woolaroc Ranch, Museum and Wildlife Preserve in Bartlesville.
