Solar Eclipse 2024: The Choctaw Legend | Myths, Legends, and Ghost Stories

On April 8, 2024, the Broken Bow area in southeastern Oklahoma will be one of the best places to see the next total solar eclipse in the United States. For millennia, many cultures have passed down their origin stories about the phenomena. But here in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, the Choctaw story rules all. In this episode, Dawn Standridge of Wheelock Academy tells the story of Funi Lusa, a hungry black squirrel who decides to eat the sun.

I have always loved this story. So many stories of eclipses are so dark (lol, pun not intended) , but this is just so pure and joyous. My favorite one is, however, of where the Milky Way came from, but this is a close second.

I'll definitely fire some shots to scare the squirrel off the sun from Atoka county! He may come for the cows next. 😮
