Choctaw-Chickasaw Jump Dance with A. Sampson

This is taken from the album: Choctaw-Chickasaw Dance Songs Vol. I produced by Buster Ned and Sweetland Productions in the 1970s. Ned was a prolific leader in trying to maintain and restore many Choctaw and Chickasaw aspects of ceremonial life. The leader for this dance is Adam Sampson.
The following is information on the back of the album by Buster Ned:
"The songs and dances of the Choctaws and Chickasaws have been handed down from generation to generation since the beginning of these Indian Tribes. The Choctaws singing these ancient songs for the album are from the Sixtown Clan (Okla Honili). The Chickasaws are from the generation of I. Hunter Pickens. These songs were sung at stomp dances and stickball games in the Oklahoma Counties of Marshall, Carter, and Bryan from 1890 to 1937 after removal of the Choctaws and Chickasaws from east of the Mississippi River to Indian Territory. In those early days there were many leaders in both Tribes for the singing and dancing. To name a few: Logan Parker, M.L. Scott, Joe Pickens, C.S. Tubbee, Jack Williams, Charley Lewis, Flex Johnson, Johnny Gilmore, John Sampson, and Billy Washington. There were two famous dance grounds in those days: Twin Ponds for the Chickasaws, and Yellow Hill for the Choctaws; and today, on a still summer night, I can hear in the air the lingering songs of those dances long ago. The Choctaw-Chickasaw Heritage Committee is reviving the ancient songs and dances. Some of the songs are in this album."

Is there a way to get a copy of these recordings, I can't find them for sale or download anywhere? I'm also looking for a copy of "American Indian Music of the Mississippi Choctaw." Thanks for posting these, it's hard to find old Choctaw music recordings for academic research purposes.

You're welcome. If you like, feel free to download these using a youtube video to mp3 converter. There are several online you can use if you search on google. The most important thing to me is that the songs are shared!
