Choctaw
History, Life and Culture
These articles were taken from various sources and are individually
referenced if known. Many are from articles in the Choctaw Nation
newspaper called the Bishinik or from its predecessor Hello
Choctaw. Much of their info was taken in part from older texts
and books; many that were long out of print. I gathered this
information for my children and grandchildren so that they may
appreciate the Choctaw part of their heritage. I hope that others
may also benefit from reading about their ancestors and begin
to see the Choctaw Nation’s part in the history of America.

War
Drums of the 1800’s, Warriors of the Sioux, Arikara, Mandan
and Hidatsa speak of their Battles
A rare and deeply personal look into the lives of Dakota
Indian warriors during the mid to late 1800’s. These elders
come alive in these original interviews preserved and compiled
by Col. A.B. Welch. Illustrated with over 75 fully annotated
photographs, you can’t help but be moved by the beauty
and charisma of these people. “War Drums” was written
by Col. Welch in 1924. This manuscript records his conversations
with old warriors of the Sioux, Arikara, Mandan and Hidatsa
tribes. Welch’s writings are essentially unedited. The
stories are presented in their original order.

New
Yorker: Bob Dylan, the Beat Generation, and Allen Ginsberg's
America
The New Yorker publishes an excerpt from the 2010 book "Bob
Dylan in America," by the historian Sean Wilentz. "Dylan's
continuing link to the Beat generation, though, came chiefly
through his friend and sometime mentor Allen Ginsberg. Dylan's
link with Ginsberg dated back to the end of 1963, a pivotal
moment in the lives and careers of both men."

Wall
Street Journal: Yes, Bob Dylan Deserves the Nobel Prize
"For those who endorse awarding Bob Dylan the Nobel Prize
in Literature, the question might be: Why did the Swedish
Academy wait so long? For those who oppose: A songwriter?
But there is never an expiration date on the acknowledgment
of excellence, and Mr. Dylan is much more than a songwriter...
But no one who knows Mr. Dylan's work and its impact on his
and subsequent generations of authors and composers can dispute
its high quality."

Free
Kids Crafts: Thanksgiving Crafts
"Kids know that Thanksgiving is not just turkeys! You'll
find Native American crafts, place settings to make and even
simple recipes for kids. It is a time for giving Thanks for
all the good things in our life." One craft that caught
my eye was the Bubble Wrap Indian Corn, where bubble wrap is
dipped in white and yellow paint and then pressed onto corn-shaped
construction paper. Sounds like so much fun. Who can resist
playing with bubble wrap?
