Native American pic thread
The birthday of Oklahoma has made me think of my own heritage.
I wish to pay my respects and honor the Native Americans who live in the state of Oklahoma. All 40 Federally recognized tribes and the tribes who are not federally recognized, I dedicate this thread.
I read somewhere that Native Americans were not even accorded status as American citizens until 1924. 
I have great respect for them because they always seem to live their lives with dignity and deep reverence for our Creator and Mother Earth.
Here is a pic of my great-grandfathers. Men I cannot even compare myself to.

I would love to see more pictures if anyone has some to share. I have NO pictures of my ancestors' and very few even of myown dad.
I had no idea there are so many tribe's in Oklahoma. I belong to the Choctaw Tribe of Oklahoma, but also have Cherokee blood from my mom's side, unfortunately I have not been able to officially trace her line.

The Alabama and Quassarte used to be separate tribes. Here is an interesting link about their history:

I heard on the radio today, that the Cherokee tribe is offering Cherokee language classes online. And its absolutely 100% FREE! It has been going on now for 4 years or so.
They said they have people from all over America and Germany and France interested in this course.
I don't have a link, but I am sure someone can google it. |

I would be very interested in taking those classes online. I registered for the classes; it's simple and easy. I'm going to give it a shot even though I'm just a paleface.

The Cherokees have beautiful hymns. You are not a paleface, Synopse. You are a brother with a red heart. |
