Conversations With Chief: What Does It Mean to be Choctaw?

[@Sunflowerrgal]

This is my great aunt. I am so very blessed to reconnect with my culture with the help of this lovely lady, and all of my cousins and family. She has taught me so much from brleaading,, to language, and history. But most of all, she has taught me how lucky i am to be Chahta. I hope you listen to her advice and be proud of every ounce of choctaw you carry! Chahta sia hoke! 💗

American Italian Choctaw here, very proud of what I've done for others, meeting many different tribes and contributing to them. My inner voices yell at me that I'm Chief Choctaw, and I don't understand what that means but I'm learning, regardless proud of my voices, dreams, inner spirits, and many life's I've saved...As One...🏁🇺🇸🔧🛸✨

Thank you for sharing! I loved hearing the story about the guy from California. I'm also a small fraction of Choctaw, grew up in San Diego, and only learned bits from my grandfather who grew up on a reservation in OK. I'm proud of my small fraction and this channel is a great way to get more in touch with the tribe!

My 3rd great grandmother was a Folsom. Her parents names Folsom and Nail (which had Folsoms too) so very interesting. Love learning.

Haha! I am related to Edward Nail Gardner and Rev. JEREMIAH Folsom, brother to Col. David Folsom who was a Chief during the Trail of tears! We have land in Oklahoma that has oil on it.

What is a 5 dollar Indian?

[@alexmason2659]

125 years ago people were paying for falsified Documents saying they have Indian blood so that they could get the benefits we received
