Opening of Kiowa Comanche Apache lands in Indian Territory
A vast tract of about four million acres spanning southwestern Oklahoma and Indian Territory will open to settlement soon. Nearly one million acres will go to Indians while about three million are set for white settlers. The process shifts to phase allotments by drawing, ending the old race for farms, with open land attracting Boomer settlers who traveled long distances. The opening could add around 30,000 residents to Oklahoma, impacting statehood prospects.
