Indian Territory
Indian Territory was the land west of Arkansas, in present-day Oklahoma, set aside by the United States for Native American nations removed from the east under the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee and Seminole were resettled there and governed their own republics. After the Civil War much land was taken for other tribes and then opened to settlers, and in 1907 the territory was merged into the state of Oklahoma.
