Even Oral Roberts and Kenneth Copeland claim to be Cherokee. We have Choctaw astronauts. Chances are your attorney, your accountant, your barber, the clerk at the supermarket, and all of your clients will claim ndn heritage of one sort or another. In this part of the country there is no difference between the ndn and non-ndn.

I personally WISH I had been an "NDN" in the olden days. They had it all. What an awesome lifestyle they lived. It must have been SO cool.
(NOTE: where I'm from, "Indian" is not a nice word... "Native American" makes more sense because they aren't from India... Columbus was a dope. )

But... my question was because I just wanted to make sure my "anglo" kids wouldn't face any discrimination in OK.
(What can I say? We're from the North East... What do we know?)

We ARE doing as much research as possible.

Even spoke to an Okie today on the phone.

Thanks,

Need I say more?

When I get to OK, I'll hook you up with the GOOD stuff.

Thought I'd share the local weather report with y'all:

I am sitting on our porch today, working. There is a light breeze blowing. the thermometer says 79, but it feels more like 85 or so. I went out to feed the hogs while ago so I put on a shirt (didn't want them to splash me) Never did get out of my pajama shorts (being 150 yards from the road provides privacy). Made some fresh iced tea a bit ago. Dinner tonight will be chicken on the grill. Am thinking I might have to mow the grass one last time....maybe Thursday.....it will be clear then but will only get up to 50 or so.

That's why I became an appraiser......I spend about 30% of my time walking around peoples houses, and the rest is sitting in front of a computer writing......and I went paperless several years ago, so where I am is where my office is. Got rid of the landlord nearly a decade ago.

No, Even though you have the upper-hand weather-wise over me at the moment, come Summer, you'd KILL for the temps here.
(And I probably will also if I end up in OK. )
