Tulsa was founded by the Creek tribe from Alabama, who were relocated here in 1836. Little of the city's early days remains. You can visit Lyon's Indian Store, which originated as a trading post selling rugs, jewellery, beads and other native crafts, which now sells their wares next door to Tulsa Treasures. The store used to be the entrance to the city's old baseball stadium and remains a colorful Art Deco landmark. Their address is 401 East 11th (ZIP 74120) and you can call them on 918/582-6372.
Another historica landmark is the Creek Council Oak, under whose branches the tribal leaders often met for ceremonies. Leave a Comment

Tulsa is in Oklahoma (contrary to Routeman's tips). Oklahoma has the highest per capita density of native americans in the USA. Tulsa sits at the crossroads of the Cherokee, Osage and Creek nations. A sense of geography of the nations is still intact ... driving down the road you'll see a typical blue highway info sign 'Now Entering (or leaving) Cherokee (Creek, or whatever) Nation'.
Many of the nations issue their own automobile license plates. It makes plate spotting (license plates in this state are referred to as 'tags') more interesting and varied. Some of the better known tribal plates I've seen are: Osage Nation, Cherokee Nation, Creek Nation (figures), Seminole, Choctaw, Pawnee, Kiowa, Sac-Fox, and many other more minor tribes.
