PART 3
In Honor of Memorial Day: This series is dedicated to our Native American veterans—our warriors—who have served with honor, courage, and an unshakable commitment to protect this land and its people.
With Father’s Day around the corner: We also honor our fathers and our future warriors - our young men.
Long before Choctaws were farmers and business people, they were WARRIORS. Here to talk about this subject is Choctaw Nation's Historic Preservation Department's Ryan Spring.
In this episode you'll learn about:
- The role of boys and young men in Choctaw life
- The strength of our matriarchal society
- What Choctaw people ate — in hunting season and at home
- Coordinated strength: how Choctaws hunted and fought as one
- Teaching the hunt: how boys learned the ways of the woods
- Storytelling: passing down wisdom to the next generation
- Balance and respect: the equality of men and women in Choctaw society
- Becoming a warrior: proving bravery, skill, and endurance
- Returning from battle: the 30-day period of reflection and healing
- Mourning those lost — even enemies
- Did Choctaw warriors practice scalping? The truth behind the stories
- Legendary battles of the Choctaw — told in a way you’ve never heard
