In all seriousness Y'all, Oklahoma History is really interesting. Many of my Mom and Dad's kinfolk were born and raised there. My Mom's Dad told me that at one time in Oklahoma, if you could prove "any" Native American heritage, you could get a section of land for free. This is what I was told - haven't researched it any, however. My Grandfather said that some folks were so ashamed to reveal their heritage that they passed up land that later became Oil Fields.

Parts - My Grandpa took us to Robbers Cave and told some fascinating stories about some relatives of ours and run ins with Belle Star that happened there.
At least I hope they were true…he told some whoppers too
You are correct. Both Oklahoma and Texas have some fascinating history. Seems like there is always something new to learn or a different story to hear.

Back in the day proof was little more than saying you were. While it may be true the Native Americans stayed quiet many immigrants were more than happy to claim it. Many of my friends, myself included, were lead to believe one or more of our ancestors were Native American. ALL our DNA test proved otherwise.

Re: Sunday brisket on the Vision
My Grandfather and a friend of his spend many hours as youngsters hunting for arrowheads and relics all over Central and Southern Oklahoma and he had a collection that would be the envy of State Museums. Some of the stuff that I remember hanging in frames on his wall was every size arrowhead imaginable, hammer style tomahawks, large flint scrapers/knives, Civil War belt buckles, beads from Bones and even a 32 caliber revolver. Story was that they believed the revolver was probably thrown from a car during a Police chase. ?Bonnie and Clyde? who knows, they certainly visited the neighborhood on occasion. Most of that including a Silver Dollar Collection went to me and I have spread most of it out thru my family members.
