History Following The Louisiana Purchase from France in 1803, the United States government relocated Indian tribes from the southeastern United States to the area, and by 1900 over 30 Indian tribes had been moved to what was originally called the Indian Territories.

Oklahoma became the 46th state in 1907, following several acts that incorporated more Indian tribal land into U.S. territory. After its inclusion in the Union, Oklahoma became a center for oil production.

Tribal Nations Nine Tribal Nations call Miami Home!

Native

Americans and their culture are major players of life in Miami. Their presence is felt throughout the community. The nine Tribal Nations make Miami/Ottawa County their home headquarters – Miami, Ottawa, Peoria, Shawnee, Eastern Shawnee, Modoc, Quapaw, Wyandotte, and Seneca-Cayuga.

Approximately 5,170 Ottawa County residents identify themselves as American Indian and most of them claim membership in the nine tribal nations. According to the 2010 census figures, Native Americans make up 18.5% of the county population and almost 8.9% of Oklahoma’s population.

An Inter-Tribal Council consisting of the nine tribal nations work together to preserve American Indian cultural values and to enhance and promote general educational and economic opportunities for tribes and tribal members.

County Information Ottawa County, founded in 1907, is a county located in the northeastern corner of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. As of the 2014 census, the population was 32,105. Its county seat is Miami. The county was named for the Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma.

This county is part of the Tri-state District, a center of lead and zinc mining through the first half of the 20th century. The county is also home to Nine Tribal Nations whom have been a part of the area since before the incorporation of Ottawa County.

Fairland has grown to a community of 1,107, laid out along the tracks of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway (Frisco), which was built from Missouri to Vinita in 1871.
