Oklahoma's name comes from the Choctaw
words: "okla" meaning people and
"humma" meaning red. The
state's name literally means "red
people."
Oklahoma's rich and diverse history is
absolutely unique, and part of our store's
mission is to honor that history. First
and foremost, this store celebrates our
state.

know we belong to the land
And the land we belong to is grand!

"Red Dirt"
describes the hard-working, gritty,
independent spirit of the people who
settled our state throughout its history.
Not afraid to roll up their sleeves and
get a dusting of Oklahoma's famous red
soil, those people set an industrious,
innovative standard that is still evident
today.
The term also refers to a genre of music
that has strong Oklahoma roots.
Along with music from other state-based
musicians, we are proud to feature the
work of these musical pioneers.
We are proud to be called Oklahoma's
Red Dirt Emporium.
