While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
According to Morgan
(Ancient Society, 99, 162, 1877) the Choctaw were divided into
two phratries, each including 4 gentes, as follows: A. Kushapokla
(Divided people)
1. Kushiksa (Reed)
2. Lawokla
3. Lulakiksa
4. Linoklusha
Watakihulata (Beloved people)
1. Chufaniksa (Beloved people)
2. Iskulani (Small people)
3. Chito (Large people)
4. Shakchukla (Crayfish people)
Besides these, mention is made of a gens named
Urihesahe (Wright in Ind. Aff. Rep. 1843, 348),
which has not been identified. Morgan's list is probably far from
complete.
