Today we are discussing The McLoud Blackberry Festival in McLoud, Oklahoma. The McLoud Blackberry Festival, which began in the early 1940s, is one of the oldest food festival in the state of Oklahoma. Originally a celebration of the local cash farm crop, blackberries, the festival combined with an annual town picnic to form a larger event. The town received national media coverage in 1949 when the McLoud Blackberry Growers Association and the McLoud Chamber of Commerce sent a crate of berries via overnight air freight to President Harry Truman. He said they were "the best he had ever tasted" and declared McLoud to be the "Blackberry Capital of the World". The association disbanded in 1963 due to a poor market, and farmers moved on to a more lucrative crop, but the festival continues to be an exciting event for the city and now draws tens of thousands of attendees from across the nation. Enjoy quarts of fresh blackberries as well as dozens of other treats like blackberry jam, blackberry cobbler, blackberry cinnamon rolls, blackberry snow cones, and funnel cakes topped with, of course, blackberries. Blackberry-themed drinks include sodas, teas, lemonade, "wine-aritas," beer and, of course, wine. The festival also includes carnival rides, craft vendors, food trucks, a huge parade through downtown, live music (with The Great Divide headlining Saturday night), a 5K and fun run, and more. See if you have what it takes at the "Cobbler Gobbler" eating contest, and enter your blackberry creation into the baking contest to see if you can take home top honors. This family-friendly event concludes with a dazzling fireworks display on Saturday night. McLoud was founded in 1895 with the first post office opening on June 21st. It was named for John W. McLoud, a railroad attorney. McLoud became known as the Blackberry Capitol of the World during the 1940s after President Harry Truman was sent a crate of blackberries by the Blackberry Growers' Association. McLoud is a rural community with small town charm and the convenience of large town proximity. Among the small town charm are friendly faces seen among town at local shops and restaurants. Also discussed Dollar Tree, Think Ability, Marietta, Governor J. Kevin Stitt, and McLoud Chamber of Commerce. Special thanks to our partner, Think Ability.

The largest land rush in history kicked off on 16th September, 1893 - on Oklahoma's Cherokee Strip. Tens of thousands of people—horseback riders, wagons, and even a passenger train—waited for a cannon's boom to initiate a mad race for land. The term "Boomer" became synonymous with those waiting for that cannon's boom to charge in, while "Sooners" were the sneaky folks who snuck into the land early to claim it before the rush began. Officers were tasked with clearing out the opportunistic Sooners, but it wasn't an easy job. With everyone trying to stake their claims in chaos, tensions ran high, and skirmishes sometimes broke out between claimants, creating a dangerous situation for those trying to ‘play fair' - and the Native American tribes who had already been relocated there once already. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why Oklahoma, previously considered arid land unsuited for farming, had suddenly become a hot commodity; reveal what happened when fights for land turned ugly; and, as settlers carved out their fortunes, investigate how long it took for the Cherokee tribes to receive their payment….

As Kool & Tha Gang would say, "Celebrate Good Times, Come on!!!!" We are celebrating the release of 50 Episodes of The Here's The Deal Podcast, The Max Baker Jr. Story. We begin in June of 2004 w/ a mini gathering in OKC & an Infinite Records Showcase at Bricktown Live. Jeff Brownen finds an All Access Pass from a couple of Drowning Pool shows, one in Tulsa & one in OKC. The pass featured Moore, Oklahoma's own Jesse Jane. Seeing the picture of Jesse jogged Max's memory about being in a music video with Jesse Jane... Max played a preacher who got a lap dance from Jesse inside of a Church... The band was called "Shotgun Rebellion" & the song is called "Devil's Daughter" with the video shot & produced by Clark Deal at 3130 Studios & is available to stream on Youtube. Max's Mom was not impressed with his acting debut... HAHAHAHA!!!! One of the biggest bands in the world in 2023 is The Killers, who are selling out Arena's & Stadiums, Max discusses a show w/ The Killers live at Bricktown Live in 2004, a less than 500 capacity venue, where tickets were less than $10.... Every band has to start somewhere.... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Bob Dylan sing-a-long to start this Episode. We pick up in 2004 w/ The Crossroads Guitar Festival again then transition into a chain of events in Max's life, that would knock him back down to the bottom. Monday June 7th, 2004 is a big moment in this story. However, if it were the end of his Rock N Roll Adventures, this podcast wouldn't exist. This is an in depth conversation about the pitfalls of owning a record store selling new & used product.  "My old band, from Tulsa/Claremore played our very first Oklahoma City show for Max at Bricktown Live opening for Old School NYHC band Murphy's Law w/ OKC band Old Major on Wednesday June 9th, 2004. I didn't know until recording this episode what Max was going through in his personal life. My mind is completely blown right now!" - Jay Ramone Find out what happens when the headliner calls and says their going to be late & the sound guy says, "hey guys.... keep playing, we will let you know when they get here"....  One of the most legendary shows at Bricktown Live in OKC ever!!!!! Damageplan came to Bricktown w/ local bands Lock n Load & Element... The day of the show, Dimebag Darrell Abbott (Pantera/Damageplan/Hellyeah) decided he wanted to have a cookout, went across the street to Bass Pro Shop in Bricktown & bought a grill & all the supplies needed & had a cookout, right outside the frontdoor of the venue next to the bus... People driving or walking by were in total shock to see Dime grilling on the sidewalk!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We should have catered 4 fried chickens, dry, white toast, & a coke for this Episode as we begin in Blues Brothers style. We discuss the Nate Dog from Element, Tribute  show on Feb. 29th, 2004 w/ Failsafe, Disjointed, Wither, Old Major, etc... This was the first show at the Diamond Ballroom where Max had 2 stages inside the venue. One stage would have a band playing, while the 2nd stage was loading on & setting up. Move forward to March for an Infinite Records showcase with Lure & more OKC bands. March 21st, 2004 @ the Diamond Ballroom, Ill Nino, Flaw, 40 Below Summer, & Element80 rolled through OKC on a $400 tour package. We finish with a show at the Coca-Cola Bricktown Event Center, where an artist did not approve of the limosuine provided to take them from the hotel to the venue... There are two ways to handle situations like this.... You can get upset, throw a fit to the promoter until you get what you want or don't get what you want, but by acting like this, you make everyone's day difficult.... or.... you can be cool, be respectful & figure out a solution without being disrespectful to everyone you're working with that day.... Twista & his camp, handled it incorrectly.... So unfortunately, strict curfew rules apply once the show is over. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Indian Makes Attempt to Kill”. That's the newspaper article heading I mentioned a few years back in the Facebook group, “Indian Territory and Oklahoma History” in order to share about my Uncle Cicero Coley shooting through the window of his white guardian's house in an attempt to kill him for stealing his land allotments. I had come to what I thought was the end of my years of research about my Coley family members and I hoped that perhaps this last-ditch attempt might spur some interest. Wouldn't you know, it worked! A distant cousin of mine reached out to me and introduced me to another cousin, uncovering some missing pieces to my family story puzzle. (I'm still looking for more Coley family members so if you know of any Choctaw Coleys, please reach out to me!) Tracing lineage and finding the history and stories of our American Indian ancestors is quite the challenge. But today my guest is here to bring you (and me) some hope. Meet my guest, Gwen Takes Horse, a Genealogist at Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma who's here to help us understand how to trace our Native roots! The information Gwen shares is not just for Choctaws – it can apply to several other tribes. And she also has some good tips for us in general that can apply to anyone.

Few can fathom what was lost in the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The prosperous, all-Black district of Greenwood in Tulsa, Oklahoma, known as “Black Wall Street" was 35 bustling city blocks that included two newspapers, pool halls, auto repair shops, beauty parlors, grocers, barber shops, funeral homes, a school, a YMCA, a roller-skating rink, a hospital, and a U.S. post office substation. Listen as Dr. Carol François and Kourtney Square recount the horrific two days in which all this was wiped out as whites rampaged through Greenwood killing 300 hundred, leaving 8,000 homeless, and destroying and looting an equivalent in today's dollars of over $24 million in real-estate and over $12 million in personal property. Francois and Square draw a through line from the racially motivated Tulsa violence to the Buffalo, NY Tops Grocery Store slayings asking the question, where can we be safe?

The movie brings to life the true rags to riches story of Montford T. Johnson who built a cattle ranching empire on the Western plains of Indian Territory. It “tells of his time among settlers, cowboys, tribes, military, and bandits. Armed with grit and determination, Montford had the courage that was needed to tame what seemed an infinite wilderness, while always maintaining respect for those who lived there.”Jeannie Barbour received a degree in fine arts from Oklahoma State University. Upon graduation, she entered the field of advertising and served as an illustrator and writer for various Oklahoma City public relations firms. In 1987, she decided to pursue a career in tribal government by taking a position at the Chickasaw Nation.

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I'm your host Tim Landes. Kate Barnard should be a household name in Oklahoma. There's a good chance you've never heard of her. She was the first woman elected to state office before women had the right to vote. In her role as Charities and Corrections Commissioner, she created compulsory education laws, child labor laws and uncovered the abuse of prisoners and mental hospital patients. My guest on this episode is author Connie Cronley. She spent the last five decades writing the biography of Kate Barnard titled “A Life on Fire,” which is now available from OU Press. At her peak, Kate was the most well-known Oklahoman in America. She traveled the country speaking to large crowds and politicians about the work being done in what many considered the most progressive state in the union. Then she learned about the Native American children who were being cheated out of their land allotments by white politicians and oil men. She was on to what was happening on the Osage Reservation before the federal investigators rode into the state. Her fight to help Native Americans cost Kate her job. Her story buried in history. I recently found my second grade Oklahoma history workbook from the 100th anniversary of the land run. There's no mention of Kate. There's no mention of her in my 4th grade Oklahoma history workbook either. Guessing if I found a copy of my freshmen textbook it'd be the same result. I knew nothing about her until I read Connie's book in two days. I couldn't put it down. I'm guessing my blood pressure increased as I read the pages. Mental health treatment has been gutted in this state. Public education is continually in a fight with state lawmakers for more funding. Julius Jones awaits his fate in a state prison system that has the second highest imprisonment rate in the country according to the Sentencing Project. This is not a category we should be proud to be a Top 10 state.The tribes that call Oklahoma home are thriving. The governor has said a recent Supreme Court decision upholding tribal sovereignty is the biggest problem in the state during a pandemic. The reason I mention these things is because this is all stuff Kate fought for just over 100 hundred years ago and look where we are. I can't help but wonder what Kate would say if she was around today? I think she'd look at the political makeup our of government and say she's not surprised. It's barely been 100 years, which isn't that long when you divide it by 4 years at a time. She'd also probably say that we should stand up for what's right and be ready to fight for it.I really admire Connie for all her work in putting a spotlight on Kate. Connie is a veteran journalist and writer who contributes a monthly column for us that is always one of my favorite reads in our magazine. She also wrote this month's feature on new TU President Brad Carson. This was the first time we had the chance to sit down and talk to each other, and I really enjoyed getting to learn more about her work in telling Kate's powerful story.  It's one that every student and taxpaying citizen in Oklahoma should learn. Following my conversation with Connie, a new song from Tulsa rapper Dialtone. More on that later. Ok, let's get this going. This is Tulsa Talks with Connie Cronley. Track info:"Activites" by Dialtone and produced by XL Middleton NoParkingStudios.com

One of our favorite historians and writers, Jonita Mullins returns to the Oklahoma Today podcast to talk about Oklahoma's first Congresswoman, Alice Mary Robertson. Plus the editors discuss the Question of the Week and give you a rundown of fun events across the state. We hope you listen!

A snapshot is a message in a bottle floating on the ocean of time. We had “picture day” at school when I was growing up. Is that still a thing? Our 8th grade yearbooks were delivered to Sequoyah Junior High the following summer, just before we started the 9th grade. There was no internet, no email back then, just letters in our mailboxes telling us to come to the school and pick up our yearbooks on a certain day between the hours of such-and-such. After I picked up my yearbook, I got on the telephone with Elaine, a girl my age who lived 4 houses away. Elaine and I were going through our yearbooks together, page by page over the telephone, making comments about every picture when lightning struck. I was looking at a snapshot of a girl I had never met. Although she and I had gone to the same school for 2 years, I had never once encountered her. I said to Elaine, “Pennie Compton.” Elaine answered, “She was in my math class. She's really nice and super smart.” And then my ears were surprised to hear my mouth say, “I'm going to marry that girl.” I had never said such a thing in my life and I never did again. But deep down I knew it was true. Don't ask me how, but I knew. A few days later my class schedule arrived with an invitation for all the parents to come to Sequoyah Junior High on Friday night at 7PM to meet their kid's homeroom teacher and then classes would start on Monday. I didn't show my Mom the invitation because my first-hour class was Oklahoma History taught by Coach Meeks, a man famous for lecturing kids on how he made his own sun-dried beef jerky and how every young man should drink protein shakes to build muscle mass. Yeah, no need for Mom to meet him. No need for me to go, either. I already knew my way around. But wait! Here was a list of the other 26 kids assigned to my homeroom class and one of them was Pennie Compton! I was the first person to arrive on Friday night. I took a seat at the back of the room and kept my eye on the door. After about 20 minutes, I saw a man and a woman walk in with the girl I had seen in the photo. I got up, strode to the front of the room, shook the man's hand firmly and said with a smile, “I'm Roy Williams. You're going to be seeing a lot of me in the future.” Pennie was embarrassed because she had no idea who I was, but it wasn't long before we were friends. Oklahoma History was memorable. Coach Meeks liked to show off the heavy wooden paddle he made for disciplining unruly boys by beating them on the backside. According to him, those rows of half-inch holes drilled in the paddle were there “to reduce the wind resistance,” but those of us who experienced his beatings knew those holes were there to leave white polka dots on your bright red ass. I got my first butt-tattoo for spontaneously laughing when I shouldn't have. Coach Meeks was talking about the glory and wonder of the O.U. Sooners Football Team when he decided to steer us onto the straight and narrow path by shouting, “If you succeed in footbaaaaall you will succeed in liiiiife.” Three years went by. Pennie had boyfriends and I had girlfriends but I always knew I would marry her one day. We went a thousand places together on the nights when neither of us had a date, but we never once held hands and I never tried to kiss her. But we told each other everything. The only secret I ever kept from Pennie was that I was deeply in love with her. I got a full ride to Oklahoma State University. She got a big scholarship to an exclusive private school. I attended classes at O.S.U. for a day and a half, then called Pennie and said, “I'm dropping out. Let's get married and figure out the future together.” She said, “But we're both so young and poor. Why don't we wait a couple of years?” I said, “In a couple of years, we'll still be young and poor.” She thought that was funny and laughed. I said, “I'm completely serious. I think we should get married. We can be young and poor together and we'll...

The debate over reparations for victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre and their descendants was the undercurrent across the massacre's 100-year anniversary. As the eyes of the nation fixed on Greenwood, the issue of repaying what was lost came under the microscope.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With interest in and coverage of the Tulsa Race Massacre peaking right in time for its 100th anniversary, James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana discuss what stands out about the incident, the types of factors that something like it to happen, and the why it received such little attention for so long (01:22).  The guys also look at both parallels and points of distinction in our contemporary social climate (36:11).

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I’m your host Tim Landes.  At the end of May and early June, all eyes will be on Tulsa as the city commemorates the centennial of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. There will be a nationally televised event at ONEOK Field featuring Stacey Abrams and John Legend, plus more. There will be a candlelight vigil to remember the victims of one of the worst acts of terrorism in US history and many other events over the next few weeks. On June 2, Greenwood Rising history center will open at the corner of Greenwood and Archer. It will tell the story of Greenwood before and after the Massacre.  My guest on this episode is Phil Armstrong, project director for the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission. He’s been overseeing the numerous events for dedications, donations and groundbreakings, while also helping oversee the construction of Greenwood Rising.  He’s been a very busy man.  When we talked on Monday, May 10, it was hours before a contentious meeting in response to then commission member Governor Kevin Stitt’s signing of HB1775, which the commission stated goes against their mission. In a May 11 letter to the governor after he failed to show for the meeting, Armstrong wrote: “As a Centennial Commission member, surely you know that the vigorous exchange of ideas through education lies at the heart of our mission. Telling the story of 1921 requires confronting and sharing the facts about this horrific period in Oklahoma’s and Tulsa’s history. It also demands an exploration of the underlying causative factors. HB 1775 chills the ability of educators to teach students, of any age, and will only serve to intimidate educators who seek to reveal and process our hidden history.” On May 14, the commission removed Stitt from its roster. In this conversation, you’ll hear more of the backstory and also why they opted to keep US Senator James Lankford on the commission after his comments helped fuel the big lie and the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol just days after the senator shared a virtual speech at a commission event calling for unity and reconciliation.  A native of Ohio, Armstrong has made Tulsa his home for more than 20 years. He has a varied background in the corporate sector and as an entrepreneur in the restaurant business and has been actively engaged in the community by serving on several non-profit boards. He discusses what brought him to Tulsa and why he’s stayed.   He also shares more info on Greenwood Rising and what he hopes to do after the commission ceases operations after June 30.  Following my conversation with Armstrong, I share some of About Town Editor Blayklee Freed’s interview with Jerica Wortham about the Greenwood Art Project. More on that later. OK, let’s get this going.  This is Tulsa Talks with Phil Armstrong.  

Welcome to Tulsa Talks presented by Tulsa Regional Chamber. I’m your host Tim Landes.We are about one month out from the centennial of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. It was one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism in US history, and we’re still learning about it a century later as we work on reconciliation.Often the stories are bleak. Hundreds of dead. 35 city blocks destroyed. Businesses lost. The Greenwood we now know is nothing like what it once was. Before the Massacre it was a thriving economy.It took a while to get going again, but Black Wall Street did come back to life in a big way following the horrific events of 1921. My guest on this episode is Carlos Moreno. He’s devoted a lot of time to focusing on the Victory of Greenwood, which is also the name of his upcoming book being released in mid-May. I had the opportunity to read some of it before it went to press, and as I say in our conversation, it’s a book that’s needed for the library on the history of Greenwood and our city.Carlos also wrote the second part in our ongoing series on Greenwood for our April issue. His story focuses on the renewal following the Massacre and also the destruction that came through the creation of the Inner Dispersal Loop that cuts through the heart of Greenwood Ave and creates a concrete segregation line dividing North Tulsa from the rest. He also examines the failures of Model Cities and Urban Renewal, often called “Urban Removal.”Carlos moved here just over two decades ago from California. He didn’t know about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre when he arrived. As you’ll hear in this conversation recorded over Zoom, a work opportunity created an academic obsession for Carlos that has only grown over time.His research and numerous writings and upcoming book make up a long running passion project. By day he’s a graphic designer for CAP Tulsa, which was once again named one of the best nonprofits to work for in the country. It is Oklahoma's largest anti-poverty nonprofit organization and a national leader in early childhood education. He also volunteers with Code for Tulsa, working to make local government work for the people, by the people, in the 21st century.Carlos serves on the board of Urban Coders Guild which teaches programming skills to disadvantaged youth, as well as the Open Source Software Development Education Advisory Board at Tulsa University, the Advisory Board for the City of Tulsa’s Office of Performance Strategy and Innovation, the Gilcrease Museum Community Advisory Council, and the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) MPA Advisory Board.I enjoyed having the opportunity to talk to him about all the great work he’s doing in Tulsa and how his work at CAP is instrumental in making our city’s future bright.This is Tulsa Talks with Carlos Moreno.30 years ago this week, Nirvana played “Smells Like Teen Spirit” for the first time. When it was released months later it was like they dropped a bomb on the musical landscape, changing it forever. What followed was a musical revolution led by grungy young musicians creating a sound that was stripped down and just as grungy as their aesthetic.Fast forward to today and Tulsan Kylie Slabby aka Ramona and the Phantoms has recently released the new album, “Marmalade and Blood.” Among the first singles is the track “Happy,” which sounds like it came straight out of the mid 90s, and that’s a good thing. The accompanying video even looks like it was filmed then.In a world dominated by auto-tuned singing and generic synthesized music, it makes my ears happy to hear the grunge sound is still alive and well and continuing to evolve through the musicianship of people like Kylie.Produced by Morgan Phillips and Tim Landes

This gripping Civil War battle story highlights a monumental early victory in the African-American struggle for freedom and equality in Oklahoma. The story is a jumping off point for a great conversation on the role of history and how it shapes our views of racial dynamics in society. If you want to dive deeper, here are some of the resources Dr. Blackburn mentions in this episode: The Oklahoma Historical Society: https://www.okhistory.org/ The Oklahoma History Center https://www.okhistory.org/historycenter/ unitedvoiceok.org

On this episode myself and Shannon interviewed Dr Geroge Henderson. There's so much to talk about in this episode and so much to share so we've devided it into two parts. This first part Dr Henderson talks about his early childhood up to coming to Norman Oklahoma. In Part 2 we'll dive into his work at OU and his thoughts on the future. BioIn 1967, Dr. George Henderson became the University of Oklahoma’s third full-time African American faculty member at the Norman campus. In 1969, he became the first African American in Oklahoma universities to be a distinguished professor when he was appointed the Sylvan N. Goldman Professor of Human Relations, Education and Sociology. Later, he was appointed to three other distinguished professorships: David Ross Boyd Professor, Regents’ Professor, and Kerr-McGee Presidential Professor. After he became the Goldman Professor, he founded the Human Relations Department, which he chaired for 20 years. From 1996 to 2000, he was dean of the College of Liberal Studies. Thus, he was the first African American at the University of Oklahoma to create a degree-granting department; and the first African American dean of a degree-granting college on the Norman campus. Although he retired from the University in 2006, he still teaches on a part-time basis. A civil rights pioneer in higher education in Oklahoma, George Henderson has achieved many other notable accomplishments. His awards and honors include being the recipient of the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence Medal for the Outstanding College and University Professor in 2000; State of Oklahoma Black Heritage Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003; induction into the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame in 2003 and also induction into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2003. The Henderson Scholars Program and the Henderson-Tolson Cultural Center on the Norman campus bear his name. The University of Oklahoma awarded him an honorary doctorate (Doctor of Humane Letters) at the May 2011 Commencement. In 2015, Oklahoma Today Magazine named Dr. Henderson one of the forty-five most influential African American Oklahomans. A race relations and civil rights scholar, George Henderson has taught university courses and spoken at conferences and workshops throughout the United States and internationally. In addition, he has written 34 books and 50 articles. In 2011, the Oklahoma Historical Society selected Race and the University as the Outstanding Book on Oklahoma History published in 2010. Also in 2011, Dr. Henderson and his wife Barbara were recipients of the Xenia Institute’s Sam Mathews Social Justice Award. They were the first African American property owners in Norman.

Black Tulsans record a rap album in a house that once belonged to a famous Klansman. 

The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 is one of the worst racial acts of violence in American history. Also known as the Greenwood massacre, hundreds of African Americans were killed, with their homes and businesses destroyed. Greenwood was the home many accomplished black individuals, including doctors and lawyers. The home of at least 15 black millionaires, and the top black surgeon in America.....why don't we know more about this? Why is their history erased from Oklahoma History. This will be investigated as we try to uncover what really happened on that fateful day. if you want to learn more, there is a SYSK podcast that covered Black Wall Street on Jan. 16, 2020 that I leveraged quite a bit. I would also encourage y'all to visit this youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iankhf70X0Q which also provided a detailed summary of what happened to Black Wall Street. Enjoy!

For the start of black history month, we are going to head all the way back to the old west to meet a man who has been long thought to be the inspiration behind The Lone Ranger. Take a listen through and if you are familiar with the TV show or watched the latest movie let me know below what you think. Without any dispute Bass Reeves was one of the most feared lawmen of the west. Born 1838 in Crawford County, Arkansas as a slave. The slave owner was Confederate Colonel George Reeves and during the war. There are conflicting accounts as to what happened but on record, he said to have left to ensure his safety and his freedom. Bass Reeves escaped into Oklahoma territory where he found help and friendship amongst the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole First Nations Tribes. During his time with The First Nations Tribes, he learned the skills that would make him one of the best lawmen of the west. He learned to track, shoot, ride, and fluently speak five First Nations Languages. By the way, if I am using First Nations and Native incorrectly please email me. I did an extensive search but I am open to corrections.It is said that he left his master but that he went to the Union to fight. Other accounts have him moving to Arkansas to farm and marry Nellie Jennie (and have 11 children). Some accounts say both. Bass Reeves started as US Marshal in Oklahoma and the Arkansas Territories in 1875. Bass Reeves was never taught reading. He was said to have memorized how the suspect’s name looked on the paper ad was able to match it with the warrant. He was never said to have arrested the wrong person.He was known for his relentless pursuits of criminals and while shot at many times was said to have never been hit by a bullet. He did come close having both his hat and belt shot off. His jurisdiction territory spanned seventy-five thousand square miles. It was said that when a deputy marshal rode out for a round trip of 800 miles a wagon and a cook who also served as a guard went along. This territory was supposed to be handled by 200 deputies unfortunately according to records only twenty to thirty worked at a time.In total Bass Reeves accounted for over 3,000 felons using disguises (a fellow criminal hunted and shot at by law enforcement, a woman, or a preacher). Taking them in as they say dead or alive. Though according to the numbers he made sure to state of just over 3,000 he only had to kill 14 and only in self-defense.After he retired at 67 he spent two years as a city policeman in Muskogee, Oklahoma. During those two years, there were no reported crimes in his new territory.Historians have an incredible benefit to Bass Reeves working life in that he would often be followed by newspaper reporters who would give eye witness accounts. If you ever in the neighborhood go pay respects the bridge that crosses the Arkansas River named the Bass Reeves Memorial Bridge.One of my favorite depictions of Bass Reeves was on a short-lived but amazing sci fi show Timeless.

While the ballads of gun-slinging outlaws like Jesse James and Billy the Kid play on, there’s another Old West gang that has been largely forgotten. This group of young boys – black, Native American, or of mixed-race – emerged from the shadows in a politically charged, yet severely flawed, rebellion. Have you ever heard of the Rufus Buck Gang? DOWNLOAD NOW Credits: Thank you to novelist Leonce Gaiter for bringing the Rufus Buck story to light. I’d also like to thank Stephen Aron, a professor at UCLA and specialist in frontier, borderland, and western American history, and Arthur Lurigio, a professor of psychology and criminal justice at Loyola University Chicago.

Guest Sarah Adams Cornell (Choctaw) will talk about the Land Runs and why the Land Run Re-enactments are harmful to our Native American children.  Sarah has been making progress on her goal to stop Land Run Reenactments in Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS). She met with the principal of her kids' school who promised they would no longer do them. She has met with the director of Native American student services at the OKCPS and she was very supportive. The principal wants her to draft a one page informational sheet about the land runs and also include her daughters perspective of what it's like to be involved in a reenactment. The director and she will have a meeting with the administrator of elementary schools and the director of curriculum to speak with them and express why she wants it to change, present them with alternative curriculum to teach and offer native presentations for schools, as a fun activity. Sarah is active in the Oklahoma City Choctaw Alliance and Idle No More Central Oklahoma.  You can find her on facebook at   www.facebook.com/sarah.adamscornell For more information on the Land Runs in Oklahoma see: http://crescentok.com/staff/jaskew/TAH/OK/landruns.htm
