THE MIGRATION STORY - First Leaders of the Chickasaw & Choctaw

Dedicated to my wife and children, who carry this lands bloodline onward.
I can’t help but see the pole and great river as plasma in the sky and the brothers and their dog, representing the planets as archetypes.

I’m in west Tennessee, about 15 miles from the east bank of the Mississippi River. I can only imagine how they must have been in awe of the father of waters. Many people cross this massive river everyday without realizing how ancient it is. Crossing the river must have been a painstaking and delicate process. The fact that they all made it across safely (with the exception of Ofi' Tohbi Ishto') is nothing less of a miracle. At times the current can get quite rough. I have been to Pinson Mounds many times, earthen mounds constructed during the Woodland period. Sauls mound, the tallest of the mounds found there, is 72 feet high and 370 feet by 300 feet at the base.. and entirely made by hand.

My paternal grandfather’s ancestors joined the Oklahoma Choctaw a little after the Trail of Tears due to racism & being pushed out of their lands(Mississippi/Tennessee). Listed on Dawes in 1890s-1900s.

This story is different from what my elders have told me. Im Mississippi Choctaw and I was told that Chahta alhiha never traveled after coming up from the clays of Nani Waiya

[@so_cal8057]

Could you share the story?

[@e.b3239]

Do you have any additional stories to share? I’d love to hear!

A few things: We have no 'oo' sound in our language except the oo as in 'book'; Holitopa is hah-lih-TOE-pah, not "hah-LEE-too-pah". Itti is 'IT-tih', not, 'ee-tee'. Misha Sipokni, is 'MEE-shah-sih-poke-nih', not "mee-sha-SIP-kin-nee". Also, it's Chikasha ('Chih-kah-shah'), not 'Chick-suh'. We never originally called ourselves, "choctaw" - A Euro writing back home from Cuba called us that hundreds of years ago, not us. Also, "chickasaw" was a Euro thing. It's deceiving saying, "our ancestors", when Chahta are not the ancestors of all in America. Much Love.

Thank you for the correction. I do a terrible job at pronouncing names and words I’m not familiar with. I also have a bad Texas accent 😅

Halito ikhana! Chahta anumpa anumpali okpullo hoke. Chahta Okla hochifo yvt hvcha hattak tuk. Does that sound right? I haven't heard that in 30+ years, so I hope I'm not losing it.
