Buckle up, y’all. Because today you’re going to study with me and my guest about a time in history when the entire future of our Indigeneous people had come to a crossroads that depended upon crucial decisions. Would each tribe fight for the right to stay in the land of their ancestors? Or would they succumb to the pressures of colonization and the removal to the new, unknown lands of Indian Territory.
These decisions, which could mean life or death for many or all, were the burden of every Chief.
No one personifies this pivotal moment more than the man some described as, the “Last great chief of the Choctaw.” His name was Mushulatubbee. And my guest, Steven Hunter, is the fifth great grandson of this great “Minco” (or Chief, in Choctaw). Steven presents his extensive research and his paper about this Minco, who was tasked with balancing the elements of an ever-changing world that would change the tribe’s way of life forever.
And perhaps a new appreciation will be born for the hundreds of Mincos who suffered under the tremendous burden of choice during these times. May they never be forgotten…
