Are you a proud, two parent, hard-working, law-abiding, community oriented family, with well behaved children? If you answered yes to all of the following questions you are welcome in Wyoming, we don't care what color you are.

There are places in WY that if you are not a certain religion it can be tougher to live there. That is certainly not true for the whole state. It is also true that in most of the state we don't care what race you are. I live in Wheatland. There was a pastor here who is Japanese/Caucasian and his wife is Korean. They told me that this was one of the least racist places that they had ever lived. They came here from L.A.

Jaada - you don't say if you will need jobs when you move here or what kind of employment you need. That will have some influence on where you live.

If you do move here - Welcome. I am not Native American but grew up on a reservation in MT.

Wheatland is a great town. We love it here. About 3500 people. Mostly prairie but Wheatland is located at the foot of the Laramie Range so there are some trees around.
