My grandmother, Mama June Vanderson, was from Natchez, MS and she was half Choctaw. My great grandmother, Mama Willie, was full-blooded Choctaw and married an African-American man. My mother, Doris, is Creole. A lot of the old herbal remedies were passed down to my mom and I still remember and use them often. This was a fascinating video to watch. I’ve never really been in touch with my Native side of the family, only through stories that my grandmother used to share with me. Thanks for the upload.

Shalom (aloha) Loving kindness for the freedom of speech in the USA, loving kindness for my friends, may my prayers genuinely help them. Spirit wisdom Loving kindness for temple Mahoney loving kindness for vegetarian kosher.. good karma.. may Goddess give us all enough Charisma to get by! Loving kindness for the mugwort in jewish tradition. Loving kindness because a fellow rabbi has revealed themselves to be Barrett Wallace, he comes to Temple Mahoney since the 70s and blows shofar, from it floats the holy mushroom spirit of Mana, representing cornucopia, the spiritual fruit of life. The tradition of honoring the sacred energy of nature is strong in our community. Loving Kindness, in reality we are not violent, our path is not forged by fighting but shalom and bytul (selflessness) we use hebrew to uphold morals and balance. Loving kindness for The Native American jewish community. The choctaw tribe created the game final fantasy to use judaism to teach environmentalism. Our tribe still uses the teaching to protect the integrity of mother nature everywhere... Final Fantasy VII, The numeral is written in Hemp and it is Consider Hashtali. This is an area blessed in the hawaiian jewish tradition.. which is lawaii (choctaw hawaii) Barrett is the redemption of Borat.. in the worldview everyone is revealed to be balanced.. loving kindness for the mugwort spirit for being helpful and healing aura. Yomogi... loving kindness for the spirit energy in all life... loving kindness for the spirit of humanity may we honor all life forms and be one with them. Modern Miracles of hashem.

John Nokosi if one drop of Black blood makes a person Black regardless of his or her skin complexion, then his 1/4 Native American blood is equally relevant. My brother was told all he needed was 1/4 Native American to receive free tuition and he got it. So, why don't you stop being a gene bully just because someone embraces his DNA. Regardless of how little it is, it still shows up in his DNA which passes to his progeny. Perhaps you should retake Biology or better yet, take a college level Biology class and learn something before you attack someone.

They will be dis-enrolled as a Choctaw then, and they will have to live as a White man or a Black man which ever they are, but his children can always have babies with Choctaws and bring his blood quantum back up in the tribe.

I know the Cherokee opened their rolls and I think the Chickasaws were talking about doing the same thing. That means that as long as you can trace anyone on your family genealogy chart (no matter how far back) to a full blood Indian, then you can be enrolled. If thats the case i guess it don't matter in some tribes if the people marry outside the tribe. that means if the tribe continues to marry outside the tribe, they will eventually be more White or Black with hardly any native American blood in them. so whats the use of being a Indian tribe then, after that? Tribal members will all be just 1 to 3% Native American. Oh well.

Because there are Creoles not of color such as white Creoles.

There is some Choctaw on my mother's side of the family, but we make no claims of belonging to the tribe because we have no real documentation of ancestry.

You don't need documentation of ancestry, that is a just a paper game so they can label you in their system. My entire family is chotctaw and my grandmother has is on her Birth Certificate, they told her she is two dark lol and my grandfather is the same way...Basically that tribe shit as of now will be a government assistance/helping hand to the fake (Mexican/Asian) looking Indians

I am African and Choctaw and I am so happy to be learning about both sides of my culture. I am in the process of creating an altar for my ancestors, so if anyone has any suggestions on things I can add to bring elements from the Choctaw Nation, feel free to reply! For now I am adding corn, as I know it was one of their main crops.

God... I pray that im doing what is right... I see a huge fractal... I see my mother as myself.. I feel like the earth is sick. I pray that people give it more praise. I pray that what im doing is enough but the weights are so heavy. Every one seems so passive. They just want money. We need to let go of money. Everyone needs to see its just a game. I see people who I remember from omega teen camp here... ppl from new york... they have confirmed it was them... even priscilla is just ruby jacobs in disguise.. then theres tommy and that other kid... its a native american winkte ritual... involving the whole country from seattle to here.... they are making soma... these are its rituals... these are tribes.... the shaman hawk is here... they refer to the phoenix... shapeshifter people... they are quiet allies... allies in zen. Maybe it just needs to say winkte... because its all become imbalanced... red and blue black and white... they are all holy people... and its just to create a sacred river of good energy... the earth is like me sick but also so healthy... all that matters is that I am winkte... people need to know..I walk amongst all forces at peace... only I can stop its abuse... all people are winkte... this is a medicine wheel healing...

If they wore original clothing, they would be half naked in the summer LOL Choctaws are a christian nation today, so they put white mans clothes on when their way of dressing became to hard to produce, it was easier to buy cloth & design their own clothing. Quit criticizing choctaw, they know what they are doing. they live for God & God says people are to be moderately dressed.

a hatukchaya (great spirit who teaches healing) is with us in this way to teach us, this is not really scientific genealogy its about the spirit world connections between all life, ironically Choctaw medicine is more about ending racism and divisions between peoples, and overcoming mistranslations, initial misunderstandings which make it difficult to realize we are more similar than different, most conflicts are caused by misunderstanding than actual ill will

Very cool. My dad's side is a Scottish Choctaw mix (Mississippi band). They were proud of it. My dad sadly is ashamed of it. Used to live near Buckatunna creek as a little girl and loved exploring that area. Used to have some crazy dreams there too. I'm snow white like my moms Russian side, but my sister is so dark, with black brown eyes, that people assume she is a Mexican. lol Genes are a funny thing. Thanks for the Video, love learning more about the culture.

Found this on wikipedia. "The Choctaw, who for 150 years had identified neither as white nor black, but were discriminated against as people of color, were "left where they had always been"-in poverty. Donna Ladd wrote that a Choctaw, now in her 40s, remembers "as a little girl, she thought that a 'white only' sign in a local store meant she could only order white, or vanilla, ice cream. It was a small story, but one that shows how a third race can easily get left out of the attempts for understanding." The end of legalized racial segregation permitted the Choctaw to participate in public institutions and facilities that had been reserved exclusively for white patrons." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Band_of_Choctaw_Indians#Civil_Rights_Movement,_Vietnam_War,_and_1960s

That’s not totally true, their are many who can’t speak the language, and don’t know their heritage, and by nations keeping the history of this country silent, they are complicit in how this country has been ran for centuries, and why the natives never came home, what is your purpose? If you are not one of the ten tribes on this land, why keep your traditions sacred for what purpose? You can’t say for Our Source, Our Source’s Children are bold, and speak truth and for over centuries, your nation never did. So I want to know, what is the purpose of you resurfacing and showing this video, should we feel gratitude for you showing that natives are not always what we think? (I believe we figured that out, without your input) Where have you been? You can’t take center stage now, when the only ones you cared for was yourselves, when you knew there were other tribes not just yours. Now people are seeking out their tribes, and I wouldn’t want my tribe to be seen as a tribe of people who watched the torture of their people daily, and never pointed a finger in any direction to give them hope of finding their heritage, No, you just watched them call us the many bywords they did, and you said, I’m not African American, I’m not Black, etc. I’m Choctaw, knowing no one else was black either, that’s arrogance and selfish and those are sins, and shows who you align with, along with these other fraudulent tribes, I will only give grace to your tribe, because it is your heritage, but not to the people in it, you sold your brother out for greed. Yes, you’ve been supplemented financially by this government regularly, did you care none of your other brother did, or was it just to elevate yourself, within your nation, ego, also a sin. There is a force upon the Earth right now, that is fed up, with all forms of evil, and complicity is again a sin, and also evil, and this force is realizing to rectify what is wrong and to make it right, by any means necessary. Repentance, Baptism, and Love, Our Source is everywhere, you should know this if you’re connected to The Great Spirit, unless you’re just imposters as well.
