Likely be a cash sale, but surface rights seem important. Don't want to wake up on morning and find them drilling in your garden, LOL.

I spent abit of time in Portland around 2006, it was nice then. From the videos Ive seen it looks like its turned to shit. Facing a move at 72 is a bit scary but not as much as staying on the east coast if SHTF.

I was teasing.No not at all. I'm simply trying to tell you if you move out there, be prepared. Cause even when you think they aren't part of the nation, they just might be.
Pawnee tribe helps members survive pandemic
From PPE to food distribution to individual assistance, Oklahoma's Native American tribes listen to citizens to help them through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Depends on what you consider cool.
The last King of the Lower Creek Nation was William McIntosh, half Scot, half Creek, murdered by the Upper Creeks in Georgia, my Gordon, Scot Line, married Creek girls in OK after the Trail of Tears, white with blue eyes, you bet.
Cool stuff...1600 yard long distance shooting, nhra track, public and private hunting lands, tons of lakes, yea, all the fun shit is somewhere else. Hell, we even have an artillery range in Fort Sill if you can get a guest pass.
And dont forget Moore, Edmond and Choctaw. Include The Village and the Paseo district too. OKC and it's surrounding area is a hot bed of political issues but it's primarily stuff like where the next turnpike goes and how we kill people on death row.
My wife and daughter are card carrying Choctaw. Blue eyed redheads. We don’t see many benefits from that but they do some funeral assistance and some education assistance and a few things like that.
That was an interesting reply. Probably alcohol induced. As someone who has managed cattle and lived in both states and currently has operations of my own in both, there isn't a whole lot of difference. Just higher taxes in Kansas......but they do have a lot better roads. Oklahoma is currently working on I35, but they waited to long and don't have the toll road income Kansas does. People in western Oklahoma, western Kansas and Texas Panhandle are about the same. Probably are east of I35 as well.....which is no where I want to be with the exception of the Flinthills and Osage country. If I ever move it will be a smaller town in the middle of no where. Not near Wichita, OKC, Tulsa, etc.

The red dirt you reference is located in a specific portion of the State that might encompass 25 of the land. Stay away from Seminole, Shawnee, etc and it’s not a problem.
My Greatmother, as it turns out, was half Choctaw, half Irish. When she was young, it was not very cool to be either. She claimed she was Mexican. 3 generations of pseudo Mexicans later, plenty of Latino names and cousins who learned to speak Mexican, Texican and Spanish, a cousin and a brother do the fucking DNA thing. No Mexican...so those who gave a shit about geneology (not me, I was born in Alaska and both of my parents, all of my grandparents were born in the USA. I AM A FUCKING AMERICAN-sans-hyphen (or is it sans-hyphen-AMERICAN) were a bit dissappointed that family word of mouth history just wasn't so. We are from North America with strong indications of American Indian, there are indicators from Scotland, Ireland and Norway. They dug deeper and found the Choctaw connection.
A lot of people in the area have Indian blood and I think that is to be expected. In many cases the family tried to erase it 3 generations back. In my family this happened around prohibition times. Seems that it was highly frowned up to be an Indian in the Oklahoma/Texas area at the time. It opens a can of worms for sure.
My wife is blond with blue eyes, Mayflower 1620 and Spanish Conquistador 1623, Scot, Irish, English, German, and 6% Sonoran Native American, so Mexican. DNA tells all, who do you think you are, love to rub that in the liberals face. I judge people by their Character, could give a fuck about anything else.

Thanks to all who have replied. I must admit that at 72 the idea of moving away from my roots for what will likely be my last move, is a bit scary. But after a couple years of consideration it feels like time to go. Ya'll have me feel right at home. Looking forward to it. We'll keep Oklahoma red.
Go Sooners.
