Chapter 1: Introduction
My name is Ashwin. It is Cherokee for strong horse, but everyone just calls me Ash. Ash Jones I suppose, but I don't like having my 'father's' last name, or anyones last name. I used to think that land could not be owned, and since I am the land, no one will brand me with that name. I don't really believe that anymore, I'm a state now!
Life is tough being a fly over state, but peole don't know what they're missing! We have everything here. You have the suits and ties that live in big buildings for that Chicago feel, or you can drive a truck and boots out in the country, or you can even get the best of both worlds! You don't have to pick between hot and cold. It's blistering drought 115 degree weather in the summer, and in the winter you can get an ice strom or blizzard that will lock you up for weeks!
Alright then, a bit about me. I'm Ashwin, you know that. I'm called Oklahoma. I used to be called Indian Territory until 1907, when me and my wife, Oklahoma Territory, combined and made this glorious state! My wife doesn't really do anything anymore, I took over for her. To tell you the truth, I didn't like her at first. I didn't even want to become a state really, but we had to be married to become one. I never liked my dad, the United States of America, either. I still don't really get along with him. The whole state doesn't really like to get involved with anyone else.
I also have a brother who combined with me into this state! His name is No Man's Land. He's the panhandle. We don't really talk much because the east and west of this state are so different. Anyway, I've been through a lot in my life. This is what this story will be. I'm going to tell you the story of my slow rise to statehood! Did you know that I had to wait the longest to become a state? All my siblings were surrounding me as states and there was just this awkward little gap of territory in the middle! I was the 46th state to be admitted, so I should be young, but I'm actually older than many of them! I used to represent not just the Cherokee Nation, but Native America as a whole, so my story starts with when Europeans first landed on my shores!
Well, I suppose that's enough rambling. Here's the diary of Ashwin/Oklahoma/Indian Territory/Cherokee Nation
