- Jesse Lindsey of the Chickasaw Nation gives a short history of the Chicksaw before introducting the Chickasaw Stomp Dancers who perform traditional dances and songs. After the first dance, Kevin Gover, Director of the National Museum of the American Indian, welcomes visitors and guests. Museum visitors are invited to participate in that last traditional dance.
The festival was webcast from the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian on August 15, 2014.
My grandmother is Chickasaw and Choctaw from Mississippi and my grandfather is African American and I’m proud of all of my culture and working on teaching my son to do the same.
If he was born here he's American, drop Africa it didn't help in law
Same!
This completely disproves all of the indian stereotypes. We look nothing like what the media portrays. We are a strong people, who all have different tribes and cultures. Let's get together and keep all our cultures alive so that we can stay who we are. I love dancing with my people and I love keeping my culture alive. Yakkookay, chapisa lacho!
Chokma, agreed!

My father was a half Chickasaw and half Hungarian (my grandma was a native speaker Chickasaw who met with my hungarian grandfather in Oklahoma than they moved to Hungary got married and two sons). Unfortunately both of my grandparents and my father died more than 10yrs ago. My dad was only 43yrs old and the grandparents were under 60 when they passed away. Me n my 5 siblings are learning Chickasaw language. ☺️🙏🙏
Eszter Deak Somogyi mine got stuck in complete poverty in walker County alabama. Most didn't survive to make it to Oklahoma. Only one of the family, my grandmother on my mother's side was all Chickasaw. I always felt wierd near her because we look so different. Wish I could have spent more time with her but my father's side of the family didn't allow me to interact when my mother's side of the family at all. So most all information I deserve to know is forever lost. Her last words to me was the sky is blue because of you, and you are my Grandson. I wish I would have ran away from home and spent time with her. She didn't deserve me being kept away from her.
Eszter Deak Somogyi Chokma!
Yammat chokma! Anakookya Chikashshanompa' ithanali. Ith_a_nali kanihmo'si. Chikashsha hattakat kaniyahookya! Chipisala'ch_o_.
Im Scot-Irish Chickasaw and Cherokee but i like Chickasaw more
I’m Irish Scott Chickasaw Cherokee! Jesus is coming soon.
I'm Chicasaw, Scotts/Irish, and Jewish ( also messianic Christian. )
What a combination. Learning more about Chicasaw. I'm 74.
I am Scot-Irish Cherokee and the one and only Chickasaw and this brings a tear to my eye
I'm Scottish, Irish and Chickasaw. I want to learn more of my ancestors history! Always feel at peace in nature.
chickasaw.tv is a great place for that.
Dude.....same
I think you are mostly English. 😆 How many people have claimed to be of English descent? 😆 It is mostly everything else.
Nice to hear that you keep your traditions alive and keep on learning that chickasaw language! Oha Fred
halito, i watched a chicasa stomp dance today first hand and joined in. i also found out im not only chahta but chicasa. i am very grateful for being able to see and hear the anampa. (i am attempting to learn the anampa if you cant tell).yakoke
ITS CALLED CHICKASAW
Proud to be Chickasaw
So did the Spanish give your family that last name when they explored the southeastern region of the 1500s? It is actually a question that I really am curious about.
Memphis has fallen, ask Lisa Marie Presely...Chickasaw(Iroquios)always said it. NATIVE AMERICANS still remain. Enjoy stomp dance..
The chickasaw and Choctaw of Oklahoma maintain non- ceremonial grounds for stomp dance and stickball the creek tribe today has several stop dance grounds through out north east Oklahoma..i went too one last night we danced all night that stomp ground is 102 yrs old... Little children were stomp dancing around 1:30 or 7 yr old was out there dancing had his attire on still dancing now that I dont see from other tribe next morning came later the men got ready for their stickball game... I will be going bk nxt yr every other wkends when they dance they start around April and end first of September last night was the last dance...
Thanks for the update
I would love to bring thousands of these beautiful people back to North Mississippi! Where they belong!!
While that sounds wonderful to be back in the lands Aba'Binni'li' gave to us, it is not our home anymore. Oklahoma is where many of our ancestors have lived and died, the little people came over here with us, and the Creator goes with us wherever we go. But yes I would love to be back in Mississippi :)
@@noahinson We would love to have you back! As many as could come!
Chokma. Part of our treaty agreement was that we as a tribe could never own land in our old homelands ever again. We originally came from the west and migrated east to our homelands in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. We were forced to migrate west to our new homeland in Oklahoma. The circle is complete.

If anyone reads this I am curious about a bit of my family history. Not all Chickasaw was moved to Oklahoma. Some seem to get left behind. My Grandmother on my mother's side was one who was. I remember seeing her for the first time I knew she was very different than me. I wanted to ask her about her life and etc. My question is WHY was my grandmother left behind? Are there any historical documents that specifically talk of this? She lived here life in Walker County Alabama and presumably, generations back did as well.
I can trace my Scottish ancestry back thousands of years, but not my grandmother's. Any valid help would be appreciated. As far as I know she was Chickasaw even that is subject to debate because long disconnected pasts. I do know a number of Chickasaw settled in Walker County historical wise. However the rest of the story is missing.
Joey Morrison Check for records on the Dawes rolls. DNA testing is a waste of time.
Joey,
You might try The Church of Latter Day Saints (FamilySearch.com). It is a free site to go and start your ancestor genealogy. The Mormon Church does most of the research. I have looked for many years for my Indian background and could not find it. After joining Family Search they added many many people to my ancestor page. It not like Ancestry. The Mormon Church is doing this to try to find how we are all related. Its very interesting how much they find and add to our charts.
Good Luck on your Venture.
You can check for her in the Chickasaw historical database, they found my great grandmother. She’s on the Dawes as Chickasaw but the census as white. I went to Chickasaw.net and contacted their geneology department. Good luck!
@@sheilagillespie5207 sorry I don’t allow cults in my life.
@@burnttoastspacegirlfriend8769 thanks
My ggggggggreat grandfather. Is james Logan Colbert. Love my people we are beautiful.
Question I have. I'm mid watching "Montford The Chickasaw Rancher" a part where he says it's "War song" the chant reminded me a lot of "The Hey Song" played in sports. Are they related?
I got stuck in Louisiana. Right in the middle
Scott Irish and Chickasaw because that's what I am I never knew that those all had a connection with so many different people it's so crazy to me
Whats interesting about their chants are it reminds me of when i was in the army. Did basic and A.I.T. in oklahoma...
How come everything inside? When I was a kid it was always outside in and on the earth. Please think about it
This was filmed inside because it was part of a celebration held at the cultural museum. They do have outside dances. In fact, most of the dances I have seen were outside.
As a ggggggggreat grand daughter of james Logan Colbert. Howdy cuzins. Nice to meet you.
Very good 🇹🇷 brothers
My dads side is Mississippi Choctaw and my moms side is creek and Cherokee
It is strange how Native Americans had no mustaches and beards until Europeans came.
That's my cousin!
We need to be where we're from. The earth did not born a gymnasium
Aeeeeeee look my ancestors!
And yes I am Chickasaw!
i just found out that my great x4 grandfather was full blood chickasaw and my great x2 grandmother was Cherokee that's ablut all i know at the moment
My people
We need the dance because the structure and organization restrict Spirit
❤️
Just found out this tribe owned slaves into the 1860s and refused to liberate there slaves after slavery .
Happy to hear that !
We are all homo sapien sapiens and we all deserve to be treated as God's children . No matter weather you see God as earth or the universe or the all .
It was mostly the big tribes like the Cherokee and Choctaw that owned slaves. The prominent members of the smaller Creek and Chickasaw tribes did too but it wasn't very many. Less than 5% of all Natives and southern whites combined actually owned slaves.
ThE BeSt !
These particular indians are what you call 5 dollar indians, check the true meaning of a 5 dollar indian, i was surprised!!!!
ThE BeSt ! Oh my. Because no one ever anywhere threw out any tribe or people threw out time didn't. Bless your simple heart and mind
Just found out there is black on white genocide going on in south africa!!! Please help since you care for truth and justice so much
My children great grand mother is Chickasaw ' thou shes not here in the flesh i have no doubt she is here spirit...We found out that she was born on the resorovation 24 miles east of Vicksburg Mississpi....this is 2nd Ancestry that if found :" But question is why do so hard for us to claim the children identity....they need to know and have the right to know their history,
But good job everyone. I play this to sleep sometimes. I miss my family. I look white. Sooo I'm white
Come back to Tennessee!
Northwest Tennessee -
How I would love to learn the Chickasaw History and of their time in this state.
💫❤💫
We all mutts. At this point in history. Most of us. But i feel more connected with My fathers tribe. Than anything. I'm tired. I will die soon without family. It's just me and my pitt
We lost this man, we still can't find a man to fill his shoes
Hey , y’all stole our song from Greenleaf ceremony ground .
That’s our song . Misappropriation of culture is a federal offense .
Comanche/ apache/Chickasaw/
My grandmother full blood chickasaw told me her family was pushed away and a Scottish Appalachian family protected them. From that time on they lived in Appalachia. Because of this I was born.

My stolen Indian heritage. Story told by the blue eyed who is not Indian by no means!.
Gratitude for my plush life. Gratitude for my fortune to be born in America among virtuous people from all heritages. Gratitude for my fortune to be born after the tragedies racism and slavery ended and their morals eternally lodged in American consciousness. Gratitude for the visions of different heritages interacting in peace love and mutual benefit that I see everyday in the USA. Gratitude for the respect of the people for mother nature. Gratitude for my freedom, gratitude for my privacy, gratitude for the native americans in USA, may their guidance be heeded by those us who are newer here. Gratitude to the great Father Sky and Mother Earth, & all relations on the web of life, may we always have harmony and sacred balance. Gratitude for the ancestors who gave the present moment foundation. Gratitude for the Wild forest and clean running river. Gratitude for native american wisdom.
singing them creek songs
Suzetta Squire calm down cousin
All tribes that emerged from the early Mississippian Cultures share ritual and linguistic aspects. Green Corn dances are a biggie. Please, remember who the villain is in our story. Let us not divide our indigenous cultures, but Unite them.
Sounds Ckickashsha to me.
They are not “Indians” they are natives
Most of us prefer to be called Indians.
I’m fine with being called an Indian 😊
I agree with you. 😀
At least get someone who can lead a decent dance
Stop talking about my people like sis I don't appreciate it
Can you dance a they do?
Lol, vibe.
How did all of these Europeans become native American Indians that's my question
Hundreds of years of contact, nobody in the United States doesn’t have some kind of admixture.
First, we’re not a blood quantum Nation. Second, we don’t inbreed.
That should be pretty easy to figure out.
Stolen culture and some rap. That's how as recorded in doctrines.
The disrespect!!! May the GODS make u pay for what u did to the real Natives!!
