The State of Oklahoma
Our state flag is light blue, we began statehood on November 16th, 1907 and we're the 46th
state in the nation. Our nickname is the Sooner state, our state motto is 'Labor Omnia Vincit'
Labor conquers all things. The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher's
is our lovely state bird, the mistletoe is our state flower.
The red bud is our state tree and we are known as okies
or Oklahomans. I love my state and we have long hot-
summers, short winters and the drought of the 1930's
known as the dust bowl was in our history. We have oil
drilling in our state as well and on April 19th, 1995 we
had tragedy in one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on
the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building killing 168
people. I love the prairies and the indigenous bison
I love the land I am from it is my pride and joy, I
am pleased to be an Oklahoman from the
gorgeous scenic land that I love.
