Nalora, I would love to se your chickasaw work to compare with what little we can find out abt the Ganns, who were native Chickasaws...some fo the non indian Ganns say the Indian ganns did not exist, but then who was My grandmother and her father & mother..I say THEY DID!!! AND I HAVE PICS TO PROVE IT!! When you live in Calif, its so diff, because you cant go anytime to the records and look, or things likethat.. God bless those in Oklahoma who do this for us....no matter what tribe they might be from. Now my son says to say the word "Indian" is unsulting, that I should always say native American..never Indian??? a word on the census, if everyone who knew or knows they have native american blood would declare themselves, we would be the largest group< what say all of you???????? your chickasaw sister nancy
