The Choctaw People

There was what was called the 2nd Trail of Tears ...
Indian people from all over were again taken from their homelands to be sent
to California to work for the war effort in the shipyard
 of Northern CA and the manufacturing plants of Southern CA
to build the airplanes and parts.

Then there was the "Dust Bowl Days"  which brought
so many Choctaw people from their homes
in Oklahoma and Texas for a new life.

For most that mean forget your tribal ways and fit in
so you would not be discriminated against.
Do not teach your children the traditional ways
nor the language of their people .....
and just hope that they will fit in.
