Non-Indian Settlement mural
Non-Indian Settlement mural by Charles Banks Wilson in the Oklahoma State Capitol building at 2300 N Lincoln Blvd in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on November 1, 2022. Non-Indian Settlement refers to the years 1870-1906 in which Unassigned Lands were open to all in the Land Run of 1889. A train overflowing with eager settlers rolls steadfast through the land. In the center of the mural a man atop a horse waves a banner reading “Go Forth And Possess The Promised Land,” a simple phrase that encapsulates the excitement of the time. The Boomers' settlement of the land yielded the admission of Oklahoma into the Union on November 16, 1907.
