Voices of Choctaw Indians

[lilyella26]

i am glad to learn this language because i just founded out i have Choctaw in me :)

[horselover7046]

@lilyella26 I just found out that I do to! I'm about 10%. I really want to lean their language. Any suggestions?

[DeviousKitten89]

@lilyella26 I have Choctaw in me too but have never learned the language fully, I have websites that I look at but man sometimes I wonder what it'd have been like if I actually knew my relatives that were full Choctaw!

[CuteNeko12]

@ChoctawMaiden11 The same with me ^o^ I live in florida but i would jump at the chance to live at another state just to learn the language (but then come back to florida)

Thank you for posting this video. I wish I could learn the language. My great gram passed before I could really learn. Grateful to God that the traditions still live!

Ahhh, I so wanna learn Choctaw!! I feel a connection to the language even though none of my ancestors (that I know of) spoke it, because there are actually Choctaw words mixed into the dialect of French that we speak here in Louisiana! A few of my friends here call me Chaoui, which is the Frenchified spelling of the Choctaw word "shawi" which means raccoon. They call me that cause I'll eat practically anything like a raccoon does! haha

[scorpian8king]

greetings from navajo nation we are glad yall are still here and are going nowhere

[pazuzu126]

I wonder, how did the Choctaws manage to keep their language when so many other tribes lost theirs?

[TheNycndn]

Halito!

I'm a Mississippi Chickasaw and love to see my Misissippi Choctaw cousins representin'.

Chukma Yakoke!

[MrVeesworld]

This is great to see. I am black but my grandmother is full blooded Choctaw from Oklahoma. She was the sweetest lady ever!!

[redmachine97]

@MrVeesworld yeah! she was probably a princess with long black hair down to her waist!

[MrVeesworld]

@redmachine97 She did have really dark black hair, but she kept it short like the 1940's style hair do. But I can tell you this, that lady never had a frowned look on her face ever!!! She was always smiling and chuckling and gave me the sweetest kisses on my "chubby cheeks" as she would call them. Even my girlfriends over the years would say, "You must like it when I kiss you on the cheek!?" I would say yes, I do..(thinking about my grandma Nellie)

[joytovar]

@redmachine97 I'm african american and have choctaw heritage on both my parents' side of the family. (3rd great grandmother- dad's side and 2nd great grandmother or grandfather- mother's side) I would like to know more about choctaw culture and way of life and anymore suggestions on how to research my indian family tree. If you have any suggestions, please be sure to let me know. Thank you.

i find it amazing to see so many faces of socalled african american grandmothers and grandfathers among the choctaw people. especially from mississippi and west tennessee. i know an unkown number of the native people from that region began to identify as african american or colored and freeman as it was called back then passing into our ancestral heritage. i guess one might say that the choctaw and AA are native cousins. once removed. lol! fascinating.

[soymiguelalejandro23]

is this the choctaw version of round dancing? the choctaws migrated up from mejico and are the descendants of the mayans. this is why you can see in many chatta the look that you see from people are called mexicans. there are also mixed blood black and white chatta.great video.

[007killingtime]

All this tells me i that we were slaves! Now we are still slaves to an economic future.

I would like to see us stand for something. Not being pussy's

[oldschoolsituationz]

@007killingtime how do you figure?

[tuskachata]
