Well I just got back from the Choctaw Rez in Phialdelphia Miss.. My Great Uncle died.. Haven't been to the Rez in Six years but I did alot of sight seeing.. Chief Phillip Martin built two casinos since the last time I was there.. The caqsino I stayed in was 500,000 square feet... I got lost alot.. I went to Nanih Waiya (burial mound)which is where the Choctaws as the story goes came out of mother earth.. I took alot of pics and I'll post em as soon as I get my digital cam back.. From the top of the mound you can see for two miles at least...

"I think the Spirit, is the one thing we have to rely on. It has been handed to us as a live and precious coal. And each generation has to make that decision whether they want to blow on that coal to keep it alive or throw it away...Our language, our histories and culture are like a big ceremonial fire that's been kicked and stomped and scattered... Out in the darkness we can see those coals glowing. But our generation, whether in tribal government or wherever we find ourselves--Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole-- are coal gatherers. We bring the coals back, assemble them and breathe on them again, so we can spark a flame, around which we might warm ourselves." Gary White Deer, Chickasaw 1994 |

Sorry to hear about your great uncle. My parents frequent Philadelphia, Mississippi. Are you in the south?
