I was not trying to belittle our Tulsavegan friend, nor her serious inquiry. My apologies if it came across that way.

I grabbed that pic...
I have a funny feeling we'll be seeing it again in the future.
Had the whole family laughing... I laughed so long that my jaw muscles
hurt afterwards. (Guess I just don't laugh enough these days.)

Thanks for posting that Choctaw. Sounds like some people are trying to establish communities like those that existed before statehood. Some of them sound very interesting.

What do you want to bet that someone who isn't like minded wants to move there and claim it is a violation of their civil rights when they aren't allowed to move in. Who comes to the rescue? Why, the ACLU of course...

Unfortunately, you're probably right on the money.
I won't take that bet!

But I'm liking your attitude.
OK might work out very nicely for us.

I don't know if this would qualify, but there is the Oklahoma Black Historical Research Project, Inc. near Wewoka. I am mad today because I am missing their conference due to cold/sore throat. I don't want to give my germs to everyone.

Guess I should have been a wee bit more specific.

I need to find a community that is vegan, or at the very least, vegetarian. But, I'm not sure that "vegan" goes well with the word "Oklahoma". :S I've found quite a few vegan communities across America, but most of them are anti-companion animals (most people say, "pets"). Since I wasn't about to show my dogs to the door when I turned vegan, I am still responsible for their lives and their happiness, so we're still all together.

I really like Dancing Rabbits, and one of the communities within it is vegan, but it is really quite far from Oklahoma. I'm sure Missouri is a very wonderful state and all, but it isn't Oklahoma and my parents don't live there. (One reason I finally returned to the States was because my parents were getting old behind my back and without my participation in their lives.)

I've been to the IC site and gone through their list, but I was hoping that maybe there were some out there that hadn't made it on their list for one reason or another.

Oh, and pancake on rabbit head...have seen that before but hadn't had the honor of being presented with my own personal copy of it before.

Sparrow Hawk village serves vegan food to the entire community. But in order to live there you have to be part of their religious group, and if you become dissatisfied with them, you will want to sell your home and move out. I have a friend that did just that.

[Annemieke Roell]

Intentional communities are not my cup of tea, but a self reliant lifestyle (as much as possible) is.

I do shop for my supplies at Walmart and at the farm store. But I also raise my own meat and vegetables and cook from scratch. I also re-use materials and items as much as possible.

You can do it on your own.

Ah, yeah, forgot to mention "Non-religious". As a die-hard atheist, I doubt I'd be welcomed by a religious community anyway.
