For Kachi Nita - Choctaw Girl

The Choctaw Indians From the southern states This Muskogean group Like others, their future waits The American Revolution Supporting the thirteen states But history would tell them As they learn-ed their fate They were the first Native Americans To march The Trail of Tears A supportive tribe Now living modern fears To Oklahoma exiled For the US to expand To save them from extinction The want of their land Ratification of 1831 The Treaty of Dancing Creek And their politics began The Choctaw who stayed In newly formed Mississippi state The first to become citizens On America's plate The humanity of this tribe Echoed so loud The Great Irish Famine Serving these Irish proud History has noted The pride in their race Always willing to serve No matter the place In World War 1 They exceeded and rode The Choctaw language In Military code For Kichi Nita And, Ima Chi Ona Two Choctaw ladies Off awesome persona They carry their past Like the wind and the eagle A tribe of true America The Choctaw People http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/native-americans.php

Brilliant write, James! I knew a Choctaw descendent and his people were proud and peaceful. Thans for reminding us that more than one tribe traveled the Trail of Tears. Love you! Carolyn

I love the past, especially the American Native Indians. The history is fact, i never re-write history. Kichi Nita and Ima Chi Ona are mother and daughter, currently residing in California.
