20 members of my Choctaw family are in my small house this afternoon celebrating family and giving thanks to God for all our blessings. (BTW, we are American Indians, not “Native Americans.” I find the latter phrase insulting and intentionally divisive.)
Love reading about American Indians.......rich History!
Allen Wright, a scholar who compiled a 'Choctaw' dictionary, is credited with
creating the state name 'Red People' or 'Oklahoma'.... Wright attended Union
Theological Seminary in NY City and obtained a Master of Arts in 1855,..
the First Native American in Indian Territory to do so.
