Artifact(s) of the Month:

Images of Joseph Bruner and his family can be found in the museum. Joseph Bruner was a leader and activist for Native American Rights. He is also credited to being the first male child born in the area known Tulsa.

Joseph Bruner, the son of Lucy and John Bruner, both full blooded Creeks, who came from Alabama when Tulsa was still just a settlement, known among the Native Americans as Lockerbroker, or as they pronounced it, "Lochopoke," was born September 20, 1872 on his father's allotment which was about where the 3rd St. viaduct crosses the Frisco tracks, near the only store building, a commissary, in the settlement. The roll number was given to him Oct. 14 1899 "Roll No. 3142 Ark-tah-yah-cho-che".
