The FAM First Americans Museum opened in autumn 2021 and tells American history from the perspective of Oklahoma’s 39 distinct tribal nations. It’s a fascinating and educational visit for all ages, revealing facts such as how the state’s name comes from the Choctaw words ‘Okla’ and ‘Homma’, meaning 'Red People’, and how most of the groups moved here from their homelands across the US. A Tribal Nations Gallery tells the tribes’ collective stories alongside a Smithsonian Gallery filled with objects loaned from the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC.
