Although he is Native, I don't think he would get any "Reservation entitlements" out here so, living on the Rez is not an option so far as being beneficial to both parties.
Would you know of an area where one can practice the "old ways" without getting tossed from the counties? A spot close enough to a town of suitable size that an administrative type could find work? Perhaps an area where they might not freeze to death their first year? I don't really have any in mind. Wondering about things near Sheridan/Buffalo/Lovell/Powell, etc - maybe Ucross?
Would appreciate any ideas. The west side of the state is a little too "Mormon-controlled" to accept that particular life-style although they're fine if you're the dirtiest rancher/farmer/cowboy in the state and they're also friendly to "mountain-man wannabes" - but not so much to hide-tanning, jewelry-making Indian-types. Any suggestions?
They could use a fair piece of property - maybe just an acre or so - possibly with a store-front - and pretty definitely out-of-town. They'll be moving from a warm weather state.
Crap, I have to do some studing on that one. I'm not sure I can even point to Labarge. haha What type of work are they doing that would take them there? I can think of other places that would make their work lucrative.
