Before the passage of the Oklahoma Enabling Act in 1906, there were four statehood plans:

- Single statehood, which meant that they would join the remaining Indian Territory and become a single state.

- Double Statehood, they would be two states, Oklahoma and Indian Territory would become the State of Sequoyah.

- Oklahoma would become a state and the Indian Territory would later join.

- Oklahoma would become a state and each Native American Tribe would join later until the total of the Indian Territory would become a state.

The Double Statehood was the most favored by Native Americans because it preserved their territory separated from the Oklahoma Territory.
