Native American discuses revival Chickasaw -- Choctaw songs

[maybealover]

its good luck to travel with some powder from a cap and to offer it in a new place, the mushrooms are friends everywhere, like the druids, transcendent of tribe, and even thought.

we came expecting, something, what we got was self proclaimed spiritual and heretical children of the cannabis, practicing an ancient celestial and animalistic mushroom faith of great diversity

[maybealover]

we questioned if when, i think it was martin luther king jr who said "let freedom ring, from every mountaintop"

was he referring to the liberty cap mushrooms and their rings, and the sacred balance between the worlds, which fairies wrought legendarily and continue to uphold as mediators between all forces, all elements

[maybealover]

the ancient wisdom which saints preserve, the milk man of universal kindness, and the practice of nomarky (not leaving a permanent mark on nature), let us not be marked by this which world generalize and tear us apart, not sensing our inner truth, inner gifts and purpose, we all rise together, like the petals of the flower, like the plants of the forest,

[maybealover]

in the rainbows, we come together, in the spirit of the planet, through so many means, among the symphony of being, that goes out so far, this divine mosaic, that is spirit, we travel among the clouds with beings of wisdom and consciousness, consciousness dances.

Correction. Gary White Deer is not a Chickasaw Indian. He is Choctaw a completely different tribe. Though both tribes are apart of the Five Civilized tribes and reside in the same territories, Gary is technically Choctaw and considers himself such. He is an expert in Chickasaw culture, but he is in fact choctaw. The label under the video should be changed.

i am proud to be a Chickasaw Indian not a Nation indian

people only see what the chickasaw nation does for the white mans eyes to see, that is why the chickasaw nation has more whites in the tribe than real full bloods

[ChoctawFlute]

Halito from Michigan. I have been far removed from Okla Humma because my mother married a dutch man when I was 4. Today I play the flute, learning of Choctaw history and taking language courses from choctaw nation online. I would be very happy if other Choctaws could add me to friends list here on youtube and talk. Thank you.

..it was bad editing..they filmed us doing many intertribal dances but with a stomp dance song overlayed..which was led by Mr. Farron Cully..they did not match the individual filmed dances with the audio recorded singing..they edited the wrong ones together..white people for ya..lol..but we in the troupe all know the difference..hope this clears that up.

[qdub4949]

@crazy..To clarify your comments..i belonged to this dance troupe when this was filmed. We were called the "The Southeastern Tribal Dance Troupe". I am Choctaw, n Mr. WhiteDeer is Choctaw..along with others. However, many were other tribes such as Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole...we did songs and dances from all of this southeastern region tribes..as for the video..

@qdub4949

my cousins was in the chickasaw dance troupe before he passed away in 2009

he really was a proud chickasaw indian

[crazysunzak]

The song isn't Chickasaw, let alone Choctaw....

[crazysunzak]

Damn BS...ing ! The song they were singing is a Traditional Stomp Dance song, and they were not even dancing a Traditional stomp dance. And we never touch another person while we dance Traditional or even Ceremonially..................­...

[chatahsooner]

that dudes part choctaw hes my cuzn. lol gary white is his real name. ask his momma.

[acerb45666555]

1:12........it sounds like Onkwehonweh singin! you probably use a water drum and cow horn rattles too?

[starfish50]

I was blessed to get to go to the PASHOFIE medicine meal at the Chickasaw reservation.

[Wolffheartt]

where is the Chickasaw reservation?

[starfish50]

It is between Ada, and Allen, Oklahoma, South of Highway 1 : It is closer to Allen than Ada.once you turn off of Highway 1, going south, you are already on the reservation. I am not sure how they spell it. Sounds like KALAHOMA, but think it is spelled KULAHOMA

[Amhlair]

Interesting and those are definitely Chickasaw dancers but I've never heard the name White Deer among Chickasaws or Choctaws. Maybe it's his stage name, to sound more Indian than Colbert or Love or Moore....

[purespirit9]

Hmmm...I guess so...Thx qualqui for the vid.

[Steadno]

griot for his people

[Mariposafuerte]

I did not grow up with my grandmother, and she has since passed away. My mother tells me that she was Chocktaw and Chickasaw. The only thing I kow is that she lived in Monroe Louisiana, but it is possible that she grew up further south in the state. Does anyone know how I could verify my heritage?

[qualqui]

hmmm....you could try contactin' oklahoma indian reservation,....maybe they can help ya,....well, that's my two cents,.....wish a lot of luck Mariposafuerte!= )

[NumaNuma187]

"Traditional Clothing"? Uh, no. I hate that crap. More like "White Assimilation Clothing".

[qualqui]

ahhh....by traditional ya mean, buckskin clothes and mocassins? That's better, the otomi ppl. also wear this "White Assimilation Clothing" as does María Elena Velasco, alias, "La India María".

[greyhawk000]

im chocktaw too and this is awesome

[blkguy620]

Chickasaw baby!!!! Chickafreakinsaw!!!! What!? Unconquered and Unconquerable!!!! I'm Chickasaw mother@!#$%^&rs!!!!!!

[WONDAWOMAN]

Choctaw baby!! SO funny how this reminds me of much of the old time Gospel acapella music that my Grampaw who was part Choctaw used to listen to from down in the south.

[PeacefullNative]

cool gotta keep the language n songs alive

[deutchmeister1220]

i feel y'all. you'd think you have nothing with those people, but they're 'our people. i don't know if it's cause i used to be a musician but when i hear these songs i instinctively know that's in me. i'm from ne mississippi and my grandfather and grandmother are both from that area....i just want to dance cause i feel an even deeper sense of where i came from. so much is about african but i believe this is my other side since alot of blacks of america are african american: HISAAA!!!!!

[Nashoba11891]

Thanks 4 posting my great-great grandma was chickasaw and I think Choctaw too!

[vonissk]

Very proud to be a Chickasaw and proud to be listening to the music. Chuckmaske for putting this online.

[wharp75]

[wharp75]

Halito! Achukma Akinnli! Ishnatto? Yakoke for the great video. Chikasha Sayah! Chi Pisa La Cho!

[kccole420]

I am glad these elders have someone interested in cataloging and preserving the old chocktaw and Chickasaw songs, My ancestor was Chickasaw Laura Colbert dawes roll # 962 and my fathers father was half choctaw. I heard a song like the one in this posting from my mothers Uncle after he came home from open heart surgery, he was on alot of meds, and says he does not rember singing the song,I will never forget hearing it, I knew he would survive his surgery after I heard that song.
