> CHOCTAW TRAIL OF TEARS WALK > > he Choctaw Nation held its annual Trail of Tears
T
Walk on May 18 in remembrance of the thousands of
Choctaws who traveled from the Mississippi homeland to begin new lives in what is now Oklahoma. One of the first settlements was Skullyville, the site of this year’s walk. Skullyville was named after the Choctaw word for money –iskvli. It was “Money Town.” Skullyville served as capitol of the Choctaws’ Mushulatubbe district. Walkers met in the Skullyville Cemetery to follow the Choctaw Nation Color Guard, Chief Gregory E. Pyle and Assistant Chief Gary Batton to the Choctaw Nation Community Center in Spiro. They retraced steps their ancestors may have made, knowing that the 4.5 miles they walked in their comfortable shoes did not compare to the misery of the Trail of Tears.
