Halito Elkdreamer: Yes, I, too, have a smile on my face each time I log on to get my email. I've been so delighted with all of the help, ideas of direction, and good wishes. I hope that as I learn more about my ancestors and get more involved that I can be of help to others. After receiving the enrollment case files for my ancestors and finding that they were rejected, it does not deter me from claiming my ancestry and heritage. I plan to become a member of the American Indian Center in Chicago. I so very much want to learn the language and culture and pass it on to other members of my family, especially the younger generation. I want them to know that no matter what amount of Choctaw blood they may have, they are still Choctaw and to be extremely proud of that fact. I'm sure you can see that I, too, am proud to be Choctaw.
