You've got to respect people; you've got to understand where they come from. We know where people in Oklahoma come from - that's why we get along.

What unites Oklahomans today is what has always united us: Our unshakable faith. Our love of family and compassion for others. The unlimited promise of a hopeful future.

Oklahoma has a respect for our neighbors. That's the Oklahoma standard.

I go to South Dakota for ceremonies when I have the time. And when you learn what the Indian peoples have gone through to hold onto their culture and traditions... wow, it's an amazing story.

I love writing about Oklahoma. I love writing Oklahoma characters; I love playing Southwestern characters.

My family is Native American, and I was raised with Native American ceremonies.

We have a strong agricultural heritage in Kansas.

I have family in Oklahoma City.

Oklahomans value our children and our seniors. Oklahomans value traditions of faith. Oklahomans value our heroes, our veterans. Oklahomans value innovation and the creative arts.

I like Oklahoma. It's a quiet place. You can work, and nobody disturbs you.
