Located in the south-central region of the United States, Oklahoma is the American state with the second largest Native American population in the country. It borders the states of Colorado and Kansas to the north, Missouri and Arkansas to the east, Texas to the south, and Texas and New Mexico to the west.
Oklahoma became the 46th US state on November 16, 1907. Its name comes from the words “okla” and “humma”, which in the native-American language of the Croctaw tribe means “red people”. Although it has small mountain ranges, most of the state is marked by the presence of large prairies. Oklahoma has different types of habitats, a fact that allows the existence of great biodiversity.
The state's economy is one of the most growing and promising in the whole country. In fact, it is based on the extraction of natural gas and oil, on the production of processed foods and on the telecommunications and biotechnology sectors. The largest ethnic groups in Oklahoma are Germans, Americans, British, Irish and Native Americans. ´
