  • OKPAN’s Tribal Histories Series presents a webinar by Dr. Ian Thompson, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Every biweekly installment in this series features representative(s) from a different Tribal Nation. Each community has their own distinct histories and practices, so by giving each Tribe their own space we hope to highlight their diverse perspectives.

    This is the first in the series I've watched and it is impressive. As my wife (Chickasaw/Choctaw) said, Dr Thompson was able to put SO much information into this hour and still kept it interesting and easy to follow. Nice graphics, too. Can't wait to visit the new cultural center. Yakoke, Paige and Leeann!

      My Great-Grandmother was at least half Choctaw. She lived to be 100 years old. She grew up in Northern Texas. I never met her, and didn't know she was native American until I was in my 40's. Grandma never talked about her heritage. During her generation I think it was taboo to not talk about it. I'm still learning more about her heritage. Grandma told me that my Great-Grandfather fought for Texas during the Civil War. I also learned that the Choctaw allied themselves to the Confederacy because of their deep family ties..I hope to live a long and good life so that I can learn more about my family ancestry in Texas.

      Blacks are hypocrits. DNA proved every A.A. has on average 10-24% European DNA, so all blacks have white man genes in them & not every N.A. N America has white man genes N them, since there are still many N.A. that are 100% N.A. All blacks are part white, but not all N.A.s are & blacks hate it when they see N.A.s that are part white, when they themselves are part white.

    How come Oklahoma doesn’t recognize the Chahta BLACK skinned, original native American Indians? How come every time I look at information on Choctaw tribes in Oklahoma, the only photos of physical people that I ever see are the people that look like they are of Asian, Mexican, Mongolian descent? You can easily CZcams search “chahta Chief” and see many videos of Chief, running horse, speaking about the history of the tribe. And when you go through the Oklahoma Indian museum, you do not see any black native tribes listed. In fact, there is a separate museum somewhere in Oklahoma that houses the freedman artifacts, photos, and history and many of the tribes at the time were not freed slaves they were the original black native people that were there before the Asian Mongolian phenotype of people came down from the Canada and mixed in with the black Chahta, as well as before the Mexican Indians came and mixed with them from the south. To not include the black natives in any of these photos or museums is erasure by omission and you should be both held accountable and shamed

      @@stormy-le6pb wrong! Chief queen Warhorse does not claim any type of racial mix. To claim that everybody in a tribe has already been mixed with some type of black and white, without any kind of proof is to purposely erase some people out of existence who are already here with a normal black skin complexion that is not mixed with any Africans or whites. Many of us have records going way back to before the Dawes rolls, and many of the people on there were not mixed with any kind of white. Directly on the Dawes Rolls itself, there are a lot of Black people who do not show any kind of racial mix, and that was just at the end of the 1800s. So to say that there can’t be any full blooded black native Americans because they were all somehow mixed in with some white people is to purposely put out propaganda that you have no backing to.
      1894 was when the Dawes Rolls were taken, some people on there are black. And that is only about four-6 generations from many of us today. To tell me that we do not have about six generations of Black people mixing with other Black people is asinine. My grandma‘s grandma and her grandma were all black. Same thing on my paternal side. We’ve been black since the rolls came out.
