Coushatta started writing the language :)
They sing Christian because they are Christian..derrr...
I do have one question tho....Is he Coushatta or Alabama-Coushatta?
-
There is a good reference grammar and dictionary of Koasati/Coushatta, both by Geoffrey D. Kimball.
-
Has anyone taken time to write down the spoken language for future preservation? Also, I find it a shame that our state will not allow them to have a casino.

Unfortunately, aside from a lot of hate mail when I first started the blog, I haven't gotten much participation. If anyone is interested, the blog address is listed in my YouTube bio. Also, like I wrote above, if anyone has made a video pertaining to issues of Indian identity, with the director's permission I would like to consider putting it in my journal.

I am trying to find people interested in participating in discussions about Native American identity. I am an un-enrolled first generation descendant of Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes, living on Flathead Reservation in Montana. I started a blog in the hope of finally seriously tackling the problems surrounding Indian identity, particularly on my reservation. (Continued below.)

Most of the tribe are Christians now.
The Christian missionaries did their job well. Unfortunately, most of the traditional religious or spiritual beliefs are lost now or just not practiced. But like I said in the film, those beliefs and practices will return again one day-- in a new form. For now they are biding their time, hidden under the comforting shadows of those old oaks and pines, flowing slowly beneath the cool springs waiting for someone to call their name again.
