Hi Ellen, You are welcome. :) This is one thing I was hoping this list would be for.... talking about the different traditions concerning our Choctaw culture. I have been told that today in some ways, some of the different traditions have crossed boundries between tribes, especially in OK.... while other traditions are strictly held on to by each individual tribe. As we all know, there has been and will continue to be intermarriage between the different tribal folks, so things can't help but be practiced and shared by all. You know that old "love bug".. he never sees race, color, culture, or religion... he just bites!! <G> Markie At 01:20 PM 04/26/2000 -0500, you wrote: >Thanks Markie, > >Lucus Greywolf wrote and told me some of the problems that was associated >with owl feathers.
