I think thats awful but our ancestors sure went thru a lot for us. Let's all praise them for their efforts. I'm not sure I could have made it but I would have given it all my might for my children and grands.

Those limitations on being able to do business without a legal guardian for 1/2 or fullbloods were called "restrictions", and that law as formally struck down around the turn of the century, I believe. I can't put my hand on the exact date at the moment. dusty

Dusty, several times a day, I am amazed at your personal warehouse of historic and legal knowledge about Choctaw history. I cannot imagine how many shelves, boxes and stacks of information you likely surround yourself with in your home, or is it all in your head?.

You know we were promised we would get weaker but wiser. I know I'm getting weaker and the wiser part I'm not to sure of. Yes, we owe our ancestors a debt that we will never repay. We all are trying to honor their memory by searching out their records and bringing them out from obscurity and writing their names down so that they might always be remembered. And no, I don't think I would have had the metal that they had or the courage and strength so to remember them, to speak of them, to honor them and put their records down in a book for all generations to come, is a good thing for all of us to do. I know in my heart that they know us, that they care about us, that when we do good they are happy for us and when we do not, that they are sad, so always try to give them the honor and respect they deserve and try to be the best person you can be if for no other reason but to honor your ancestors.
