Choctaw Nation

My tribute to the Choctaw Nation for my friend Ladychoctaw. Enjoy!!

Trail Of Tears Billy Ray Cyrus

Too many broken promises
Too many Trail of Tears
Too many times you were left cold
For oh so many years

Too many times you walked away
And was made to feel ashamed
And though you only tried to give
You were often blamed

How can this world be so dark
So unfair and so untrue
How did the cards of life
Fold right on top of you

God in Heaven, hear my prayer
If you are still above
Send the children hopes and dreams
And lots and lots of love
For this I only ask of you
To conquer all their fears
And let them soar like eagles
Across the Trail of Tears

My daughter (10) is 1/8 Choctaw, from her great grandma who was 100% Oklahoma Choctaw. My father in law says that she is the only grandchild he has (out of 12) that has inherited the Native Spirit. Since she was born, she has had dreams of things and places she has never seen, drawn pictures of villages she could not have known, and is obsessed with wild horses, all before she knew her heritage. I have show her this and other Choctaw videos, and she can't stop watching over and over.

@brbgal Thank you for watching and i am glad that she likes it. Its good that she is taking interest in her culture and to see videos of the Choctaw people to get to know who they are. I am also 1/8 Choctaw from my great grandmother and proud of it.

We the Irish owe the Choctaw's a dept of gratitude. In 1847 the Choctaw nation collected $170 for the Irish famine relief. It was both the most unlikely and the most generous contribution to the effort to relieve Ireland’s suffering.

Beautiful song, thank you for posting.

With all of the gaming money some tribes are making now, why haven't they opened a NATIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN HOLOCAUST MUSEAM in Washington DC.

My great, great grandmother is pure Choctaw and I wish I knew my people better. Lord help me.

le gleckle le! heart awakening!!

is fairy just about wierder and wierder groups of people

coming together in tiferet creating beautiful astral

aura patterns

coming together to turn theur lives into an awesome art on every level of their true nature

in deep conversation with the universe, instead of letting the society whitewash what naturally grows over

trying to sell us back and get us to work for what arises naturally

wildness

decolonization heart awakening!!

- the expand the forest movement

[rainbowaon]

@wontonga because thats too depressing, the wise know that true history is non linear, when we retell it in the present it also has an effect on time representing a ripple! all we have is now, constantly we are creating entirely new universes that have always existed. all of them are rippling together in an infinite sea, this is wytipodation, the Choctaw are alive not dead, we dont need to erect huge memorials to the tragedies of the past, we are nomads, we move on

[rainbowaon]

Psychedelics are not drugs, they are innate deities and qualities of Spirit who live die and are born again they activate the dissolution of past and future lives, and center to the eternal life in the now as we gather the spirit together and realize wisdom, indwelling bliss fertility and gnosis, which is vogodie, nirvana, we awaken to the truth that we are the Goddess

[1955thekeeper]

Their "Trail of Tears" was the American equivalent of the Bataan Death March by the Japanese. Injustice is what it is -

[rainbowaon]

Om Trayambakam Yajamahe

Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam

Urva-rukamiva Bhandhanaat

Mrityor-mukshiya ma amritat

Om Klim Nama Shivaya

Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthihi

We worship the three-eyed One (Lord Shiva), Who is fragrant and Who nourishes all beings;

may He liberate me from death, for the sake of Immortality, even as the cucumber is severed from its bondage of the vine. Om Peace, Peace, Peace

Never got the chance to meet my Choctaw Great Grandmother. My Grandmother was 1/2 Choctaw and we Grandchildren are 1/8 blood. Our Parents hid our Choctaw heritage do to the times back in 1950-60s. Back then you were either called Okies or halfbreed.... But now we are all grown up and are proud of our heritage! One thing I did learn is that the Choctaws were first to be moved off their lands why before the Cherokees! The trail of tears was beget by the Choctaws first!

[55hydroponics]

My grandmother was half Choctaw, half Irish. Sadly, due to societal pressure, she was embarrased about her heritage and wouldn't pass along any of it to us. What a great loss.

A TIME PASS WE ARE ALL INDIANS. WE CHANGED INTO WHITE SKIN. BLACK SKIN BROWN SKIN. IN THIS TIME CAN WE BE INDIANS AGAIN. YES WE CAN OUR SPIRIT IS STILL AN INDIAN. FROM MOTHER EARTH. GOD IS WITH YOU ALL.
