In 1905 leaders of the 'Five Civilized Tribes' held the Sequoyah Convention. There, they proposed that Indian Territory be admitted as a single state, separate from Oklahoma Territory. They chose the name Sequoyah to honor the inventor of the Cherokee alphabet. Ultimately, the movement failed, and in 1907 the two territories combined into the state of Oklahoma.
