rdf:langString The Land Run of 1895 was the smallest and last land run in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It came about with an agreement between the Kickapoo Indians and the federal government that gave individual Kickapoos 22,640 acres (91.6 km2). The federal government purchased the remaining 183,440 acres (742.4 km2) and opened them up to settlers. The land run took place on May 23, 1895. It was delayed since 1890, because of debate among tribal members over whether to accept allotment offers. Federal officials used "unscrupulous methods" to gain the signatures of tribal leaders and the Kickapoo Allotment Act was passed by the U.S. Congress on March 30, 1893. The proclamation opening the land was signed by President Grover Cleveland.
