WHEREAS

The Oklahoma state seal incorporates the 1905 design for a proposed Indian state of Sequoyah that would have included five Indian republics. The United States rejected Sequoyah's bid for statehood but merged the area with Oklahoma Territory, which became a state in 1907. The seal shows a five-pointed star, each point bearing the seal of one of the Indian nations; the large star is surrounded by 45 small ones. The state seal has an added central scene depicting a pioneer and an Indian shaking hands below the figure of Liberty.
