Choctaw Days - June 25th, 2011

The Choctaw tribe of Oklahoma was invited to celebrate and share their traditions at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian this past weekend. Now that Mom lives in the area we decided that it would be a special thing to be able to go into the Nation's Capitol and celebrate our heritage together with 3 generations of Choctaws. We got to watch several traditional dances, listen to some amazing singers, grind some corn, and watch a traditional Choctaw Wedding Cermony. It was a special day for us and I'm happy that I got to share it both with my mom and my kids.
