Oklahoma

Explanation:

Oklahoma(red man in Choctaw) is the state to which Native Americans were forcibly removed to. It was called the Removal policy( not relocation which occurred in the fifties and introduced a forced move from reservations to cities), it was promoted by Andrew Jackson and enacted by the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The idea was to remove them west from the Mississippi river.

Oklahoma became a state in 1907 after being a giant reservation in which whites had started migrating massively after the Land Rush of 1889. It still has the highest percentage of Native Americans in its population and its identity is marked by the removal policy.
