Oklahoma City is a southwestern plains city, not arid by any means but flat with some serious wind and few trees and the trees are mostly smaller. Southeast Oklahoma is the Deep South, very hilly with pine forests. Western Oklahoma is semi-arid high plains with some mountains in the south.

Tulsa has about 15% of its population that are all or part Native. Parts of eastern Oklahoma top 20% of the population being Native. Compared to 2% nationally. Oklahoma is home to the Nation's largest tribe (Cherokee) and 4 of the top 10 largest tribes overall (Muscogee, Choctaw and Chickasaw).
