Re: Please welcome Anne to our list!

Hey Anne! Welcome to the herd! If you look back a few pages in

this board, you'll find some fellow Arizonians who might help you

out....at least, I hope so! Let's get a source for her, and her 5

kids!

Since Anne is on an Indian reservation, she is exempt from state and

federal laws regarding selling raw milk, right?

(I suggested as much to her on native family nutrition board; I hope

I am not wrong? - Any law experts out there?)

Anne, I have visions of you making miracles out there in the pink

desert!

That's an intriguing idea: sovereignty from state/federal laws.

Although it would take a lot of time, energy and bull-headedness, I

wonder if it's feasible to create zones where state/federal laws

don't have jurisdiction in terms of raw milk? Anyone know?

Welcome to the group Anne.

With that many children it would probably be more economical to have a

cow, or a couple of goats.

I don't know of anyone near that area that has milk, let alone that sells it.

Thanks, Roxanna,

I'm so glad I found this supportive group. I agree with you that it would be WAY more economical for us to have our own cow or goats. However, even though we live on the center of the Navajo reservation, we are not native American. (In fact, LOL, we're all quite blonde and stick out like sore thumbs here! The people are kind to us, though.) We live on the reservation because my husband is an administrator at the public high school here in Pinon. Because we're not native American, we cannot own land or have a home here. Instead, we are provided low-cost housing to rent in a small community of houses built just for teachers right behind the school facilities. Our back yard is about 10'x50' and the front yard is about the same. We are not allowed to have any livestock, although we do have a dog. :-) The agricultural classes at the high school tossed around the idea of getting a cow, but it would NOT be pasture fed, to say the least. So the only option I can think of is to find a friendly Navajo who would share goat milk with us. However, we've been here over two years now, and I still don't have a clue whom to ask. (I have to be honest... I've never really loved goat milk -- sorry, everyone! -- so I've been much more diligent looking for cows' milk.)

However, I'm learning, from all these wonderful groups, that I can culture store-bought milk, make my own kefir, etc. Knowing that cultured milk is superior to even plain raw milk, I'm looking forward to learning these skills. I guess I'll try one thing at a time, huh! LOL!

Hi Anne,

I lived in Chinle for a few years as a child. It was a long time ago - we moved in 1971. We stuck out, too :-)
