What happened on Monday August 21, 1905?

About August 21st, 1905, in brief:

  • Historical events: On August 21, 1905, Native American leaders gathered in Muskogee, Indian Territory, to draft a comprehensive constitution for the proposed State of Sequoyah. This groundbreaking convention represented a bold attempt by Native American tribes, primarily Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, and Seminole, to establish their own state with a majority Native population. The convention sought to create a modern, democratic governance structure that would recognize tribal sovereignty and provide representation for indigenous peoples within the United States political system. The proposed state would have encompassed what is now eastern Oklahoma, and the constitution drafted during this convention was remarkably progressive for its time, including provisions for education, land management, and civil rights. Despite the delegates' thorough work and passionate advocacy, the U.S. Congress ultimately rejected the proposal, instead incorporating the territory into Oklahoma, which became a state in 1907.
