REMEMBERANCE
he Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma held its annual commemorative Trail of Tears Walk May 19 at Tushka Homma. “It’s a humbling experience knowing the Choctaws were the first to be removed from their homeland, the first to walk the Trail of Tears,” said Chief Gregory E. Pyle. Said Assistant Chief Gary Batton, “We honor our ancestors’ perseverance by coming together each year to walk in unity.”
