Product Description
“Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain, and the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet, when the wind comes right behind the rain. Oklahoma, Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I sit alone and talk and watch a hawk, makin' lazy circles in the sky. We know we belong to the land, and the land we belong to is grand!” - Oklahoma! the Musical

History and Meaning Behind the Oklahoma Flag
The original Oklahoma flag was first adopted by the state in 1911. This flag had a red background which referenced the Native American Population. It also had a white and blue star in the middle with the number 46, representing Oklahoma’s admission to the union. This flag was changed in 1925..
The 1925 flag is almost exactly the same as the one used today, with the only difference being the lack of the state name on the bottom. The traditional bison-hide shield of the Osage tribe is placed in the middle of the flag.. This shield symbolizes the strength of the state. It also has a blue background representing loyalty and devotion. An olive branch and calumet are placed on top of the shield as an emblem of peace between settlers and the Native Americans. “Oklahoma” was added to the bottom in 1941.
