Owen, Robert Latham

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.04 sec.

Owen, Robert Latham (1856–1947)

US senator. He played a major role in the act of Congress that gave US citizenship to the American Indians in Indian Territory. As soon as Oklahoma became a state, he was elected to the US Senate (Democrat, 1907–25). As a senator he was identified with liberal causes, particularly with progressive labour legislation.

Owen was born in Lynchburg, Virginia. Part Cherokee (through his mother), he was active in tribal affairs in Indian Territory both before and after he became a lawyer (1880).
