  • This is taken from the album: Choctaw-Chickasaw Dance Songs Vol. II produced by Buster Ned and Dale McCoy Productions in 1977. Ned was a prolific leader in trying to maintain and restore many Choctaw and Chickasaw aspects of ceremonial life. The leader is Ardis Mose.
    The following is from the description on the back about the album cover which is the photo featured in this video:
    "The house you see in the background was the home of my Grandfather, Logan Parker, Mississippi Choctaw, Roll No. 648. He was one of the leaders in stomp dances and stickball games in the early days. From this house approximately 1 ½ miles to the southwest is Yellow Hill where the old stomp dance grounds were located. Logan Parker's nickname was Luksi (turtle). He held dances at and around this house for many years, from about 1919 to 1937. He made ball sticks (Kabucha), bows and arrows, and many other things with only hand tools to work with. He sang all the songs in this album in his day, and many more. The Choctaw-Chickasaw Heritage Committee is reviving the old Tribal songs and dances after many years of neglect."
