The state's new brand hasn't been around for a week and already Oklahoma officials were forced to revise the language in a new state branding website.

It comes after they received backlash over its exclusion of Native Americans' roots in the state.

The recently unveiled new brand has a new logo and tag line.

Lieutenant Governor Matt Pinnell said that language wasn't "Inclusive of Oklahoma's rich Native American heritage."
