In Oklahoma today, visitors can explore where the collective histories of 39 unique First American Nations come to life. The First Americans Museum is a celebration of cultural diversity, history, and contributions of the indigenous people who inhabited this land long before the United States came into existence. It's important to acknowledge and honor the First American Nations that called this land home, including the Apache, Caddo, Tonkawa, Wichita, Comanche, Kiowa, Osage, Quapaw, Muscogee, and Seminole. These nations have a historical relationship with this region and have contributed to the rich tapestry of Oklahoma's cultural heritage.
The Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum houses the story of the tragic event that claimed the lives of 168 Americans due to a bomb explosion. Visitors can explore exhibits like the Gates of Time, Field of Empty Chairs, Survivor Tree, and Reflecting Pool, which hold significant symbolic importance and represent the sacred ground. In addition, visitors can experience the poignant story through touchscreens, galleries, and theaters that reveal the events of that fateful event, which still resonates today.
