PART 5

In Honor of Memorial Day: This series is dedicated to our Native American veterans—our warriors—who have served with honor, courage, and an unshakable commitment to protect this land and its people.

With Father’s Day around the corner: We also honor our fathers and our future warriors - our young men.

Long before Choctaws were farmers and business people, they were WARRIORS. Here to talk about this subject is Choctaw Nation's Historic Preservation Department's Ryan Spring.

In this episode you'll learn about untold Choctaw warrior legends: 

  • A Choctaw warrior on foot who outwitted and outran twelve Muscogee horsemen
  • The incredible tale of a Choctaw warrior who fell through a ceiling into a room full of sleeping enemies
  • Nearly forgotten details of Choctaw valor at the Battle of New Orleans
  • The heroic story of 65 Choctaw warriors who helped turn the tide of the War of 1812

These are the stories you’ve probably never heard—until now.
