Halito. My great great grandmother was Chata. She hid her Native ancestry and did not pass on cultural practices of her people. I have been researching my Chata ancestry for the past 4-5 years and I so appreciate this video
This is fantastic! Thank you very much for posting this. I hope the Choctaw Nation will continue to post more informative videos like this about our history and culture. Chiyakokeli!
Halito! I really loved this video! As a chahta ohoyo and a person getting my Masters in Public Administration with a concentration in Tribal Governance, this was really helpful and empowering to have. Much of our study i my masters program on traditional native government falls with the Iroquois and I've been dying for information regarding other traditional tribal governments and ways of organizing. Having read Michelene E Pesantubee's (Choctaw) book Choctaw Women in a Chaotic World: Clash of Cultures in the Colonia Southeast, I wonder if Ian Thompson has read her work/that book and what he thinks of it. He's got a FAR greater understanding of our history - but having read that book I wonder if perhaps the traditional roles of women in the various councils, the diplomatic power with international nations via distribution of food, their role in the signing of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, etc was overshadowed by the male roles within this video and throughout most books and work on traditional choctaw society. I'm only just beginning to look academically into the traditional roles of ohoyo within choctaw society both prior to the 1830 and afterwards. I'd really love to get as much information and opinions on that as possible. ALSO, I really have a passion and large interest in food sovereignty; food security; restoration of local ecosystems in order to promote the access, acquisition, processing, and consumption of traditional foods in tribal communities; and traditional foods, traditional plants, traditional medicines, and recipes. I noticed that although Dr. Ian Thompson gave a wonderful lecture about traditional foods at the 2013 Choctaw Days in DC, i saw that he also has a power point that goes into far greater detail on our traditional foods. I was wondering if it would be possible to have him record the audio portion of the lecture that accompanies that power point and have a video made with it. I know creating these videos are quite a bit of work - but living in WA and not being able to make it down to Oklahoma as much as I'd like, i know this would really help me and other folks wanting to know more about our traditional foods quite a bit. Yakoke hoke for all the work ya'll are doing putting these videos together - I greatly appreciate it!
My family‘s name my grandfather‘s name is onto to be bull I worked at an Indian office in Michigan. But my parents my father is from Mississippi I believe his mothers name is victory I was named after her. Can you give me any information on the answer to people as he was my grandfather as my grandma was not married
I am with a man who says he is Choctaw but everytime I use words from the Chahta language or mention Chahta history around him he acts confused and angry with me. Strangely, he seems to only be familiar with anything Lakota, Dene and Navajo. 🤷♀️

I love this history. My grandmother was Norwegian and Choctaw and ashamed of both. I'm happy to find more about each of them. Citizen of the World
