Another great post SunkenCiv.
I’m Choctaw. While we disliked the Creeks adjacent to the east from our homelands centered in the Pearl River drainages of central Mississippi, we often fought the Osage.
Indeed, some historians/anthropologists consider the Choctaw and Osage as traditional enemies. This is strange, in that the Choctaw were mostly sedentary in Mississippi and a long ways from the Osage in Kansas, NE Oklahoma, NW Arkansas, and SW Missouri. However, there was bad blood between them, probably because of Choctaw hunting parties that traveled to the plains for buffalo (and a little hell raising). The Osage would repay the favor from time to time. The question remains, however, about how either side dealt easily with that big muddy river that separates them.
Hi.
Thanks for the ping.
Everyone knows it was the Seminoles.
They took all of the other tribes wampum (a little Indian lingo there).
