Tulsa, OK, should realize that the city's Native American heritage can benefit it's economy.
There are more Native Americans in Oklahoma than any other state. Promoting American Indian art can turn Tulsa into a cultural Mecca like Santa Fe and Taos and Scottsdale. Its not just the Indians who make money off this, although they do and thats good; but its the people who come in for the hotel rooms, restaurants, the taxes from gasoline. This is the most important untapped natural resource in this area: the Native American community.
