Hi Joise, I am part Choctaw Indian and I spent 20 years or better of my life as a child in the Choctaw Area of Oklahoma, Southeast. My ggrandmother is three-quarters Choctaw. I went to school in Tuskahoma Oklahoma. I am studying archaeology in college and I have a good collection of Choctaw music which may have some of these voices you are looking for. Also I have the Chief of the Choctaw Nations address, which I can send to you. Plus a few addresses to some Choctaw Magazines. Let me know if you are interested. I have many other things relating to the Choctaws that may be of interest to you. I have a friend in England down in Portsmouth, his name is Kevin Reinlander. He has a lowrider shop there. If you are interested in my material I will send it this week. Just let me know. Also I am interested in movies and the theatre, because of the works of Dmintri Merejowski, I am presently working on a book of his called "Akhnaton, King of Egypt" 1930's. I don't know whether to go movie, or theatre or go with the new computer animation while converting his books(200) to the mass media. Answer soon, patsy caleb tucson arizona.
