A nakfi yvt Chahta hihlia. Mississippi Chahta chia. My brother is dancing in this video. He's Mississippia Chahta - and so is his cousin who is dancing as well. I'm not usually one to comment but folks are making snap judgements on a video with out knowing all the folks in it - once again. And honestly it doesn't even matter. These dances are being done the correct way - the dances vary from community to community. If folks know their history anyway, you'd know that we Oklahoma Choctaws relearned how to social dance down in Mississippi back in the 1970s anyway. Folks can debate back and forth who is more chahta than thou but it's whatever. I'm grateful to the chahta okla who stayed behind in MS and preserved our traditions despite the intense poverty and pressures from missionaries. I'm also thankful to those in oklahoma that took it upon themselves to spearhead the revitalization of our chahta culture and traditions and went out to MS to learn and bring it back. I'm also thankful to all those who continue to participate in our cultural ways and also help to continue revitalize our culture. The learning goes both ways - don't for get MBCI relearned how to make our traditional pottery from CNO. As long as folks continue to step up to the table to carry on and strengthen our traditions, that's what is important.
@Brit Reed actually the other group was the one who left when MS descendents stayed behind and we resisted the removal. Oklahoma was the one who traveled the Trail of Tears along with the other groups. I noticed that Choctaw Nation members does not fully know the correct history of what actually occured as my cousin who lives in Oklahoma and a member of that tribe told the family what they were being told. The elder in the family had to correct her how it came about that they ended up there.
Native of the Americas show peace best (as well; as any other culture), that doesn't exploit aggression, or war. ❤️ love the matter that everyone can be involved, loved the participation. Haha
*loving kindness meditation for my tribal relatives from the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes, it is good to know you, Shekyuno! may we have peace and prosperity forever connecting all spirits in freedom respect and love*
I'm Choctaw / creek/ Delaware. But I have Irish and Scottish in me too but I have more native blood in me! But there are roomers in one of my tribes that the reason I look like I do is for my safety!
this is more of a reply to comment you made about Choctaw spiritual practices before this one - not sure where or who taught you all that but it's not correct at all. You may want to do more research on actual Choctaw culture/spiritual practices and Native american cultures and spiritual practices - weed, yoga, meditations, chakras etc are not apart of choctaw culture or traditions and never have been. Those things come out of Asia and Southeast Asia. Additionally, you may want to find a different source on our language. Anukfilli is to think, not meditate. There are many resources on our langue out there.
To make the world nonviolent, our best hope is minds that decondition the substance, and promote inner peace and realization. In 1960, a small group of psychologists, centered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, performed research that brought them to the conclusion that the key to healthy organic biological healing (in any and all forms) was psychological
To get the real effect they should look up the Mississippi choctaws...they have kept traditions within their heritage. Modesty is their intention but when offended...they come to fight...just watch the real stickball games from the Mississippi choctaws and see what I mean. This video is cute....close to real tradition
Michael Runnels So they bludgeon and maim each other? Because that would be "traditional". You can think you're more "traditional" (hell, you might be) than your western brothers, but at least show some love for us. We didn't have a choice on staying and are just trying to keep hold of our culture.
***** Actually yall did have a choice to stay in Mississippi. That's why there are Mississippi Choctaws and Oklahoma Choctaws. The strong stayed, the weak left. We are 2 different tribes now in 2 different state. We might have the same tribal name but we are not the same today. Yall lost the tradition, we did not. And Nashoba is spelt wrong too. Another factor that makes us different. Good try though.
I might not look Choctaw, but I can sing like one. I've met Cheif Gary Batton at a basket weiving in San Francisco 2012. I want to move to Durant so bad. I want a job at the Choctaw casino too.
Joaquin Linares Halito! There was the Choctaw Freedmen, but the truth is that most of them don't claim Choctaw as their race. There was not as many of them as there was native Choctaw folks, so you don't see them represented at functions such as this. Not that they wouldn't be welcome. What is fascinating about the Choctaw culture is how little race is a part of it. We take pride in our nation, but a Choctaw person of color, be it of black skinned or red, is no better or worse than a Choctaw person of whiter skin. I am sure the Choctaw Freedmen who are around and claim their ancestral heritage are representing themselves in some facet, just not every facet of Choctaw culture. I am also very sure that the tribe has absolutely no problem with them being involved if they chose to be.
@@theokierebel4398 I think the US government wrote us out of history, their were Freeman and freedman, so many documents were destroyed it's funny because the years blacks need to prove who we are magically caught on fire water damage, but everything else made it in the same room as the fire
@@theokierebel4398 also we been trying to figure how to join , one part of the family has been hiding the truth because it benefits and the would have to share, it doesn't help that we have all this information pictures of great great grandfather in full uniform from Mississippi
@@theokierebel4398 - A lie - There's a LOT of colorism/racism in the so-called 'bands' in OK and MS. EVERY real Chahta has Chusite-Moundbuilder blood AND WE KNOW IT. So not all Indigenous POC got their hue from the enslaved Moors that some of our ancestry held. These avatar-hiders sure know to talk that 'freedman' slave talk in a safe place. PS - "black" and "red" are colors, not races. Tikba ihiya.
peace loving egalitarian non hierarchical matriarchal culture encouraging dreaming the world into creation and writing ones own story, misunderstood by settlers, but in the end, finding a common point of understanding, through the magical beings of the earth, whom we share a common ancestor, we are liberated from the old fashion cowboy/indian paradigm and awaken to a more complex friendship and mutual existence where its not about genetics but about spirit and doing good deeds for all beings

choctaw peace meditation, marijuana is a sacred plant, let her spirit heal you and show you the wisdom, don't worry, nothing will be corrupted, it all illusions of the bad which could have happened, this is good yoga, native American yoga, meditate on your presidential chakra, live a righteous live, according to the Yamas (moral guidelines) respect the animals, the river, trees and sky, never fall into a program though, with luck youll make it, choctaw/chickasaw we are the irish of america
Choctaw women went topless N the hot summer time but put a buckskin top on N fall & winter. Whites showed them the cloth & it was easier 2 sew than buckskin, so Choctaw switched 2 cloth & put their own decoration on it. Choctaw women don't want 2 go topless anymore.

Interesting comments, gives reason/purpose for further Choctaw research. It's important to learn all aspects of one's culture.

Something not right. The real Indians aren’t Indians anymore. These are Europeans not Indians.
We live in two different worlds. Our traditions are alive, but just because things are new or we're adapting doesn't mean we're lost.
This is blasphemy
