My name is Te Ata,
morning bearer
I'm Chickasaw and storyteller
and this is my story
There are lots of horse colors,
brown, black, yellow, white,
but they are all one horse.
There are many bird colors,
red, blue, green, yellow,
but all of them are one bird.
So with livestock, so with all living things,
So with men, and this land, where one is only Indian,
are men of every color they are all one person
That this must come to Pass is in the heart of the city
big mystery
And I really promise,
as elected governor from Chickasaw Nation,
that every man, woman and child
will have a guesthouse of 320 hectares
This is my pride...
Hi, Uncle Doug!
And my ambitions life to help in securing
happiness and prosperity of our people and to receive praise, congratulations,
and our guardians' good intentions,
United States government.
Eugene, go ahead and get the cart is located, okay?
Now, Mary Frances, your father and I have
party to honor your uncle Doug
But I want to go!
This is for adults, and I know you think you are,
but no.
Now, you continue with you brother,
and he and Celina are responsible.

And you need to help you sister put Gladys baby down,
and I don't want you to go back talking or running.

Exactly.
An honest person.

Not so fast.
Now, who is this little? whirlwind?
Hi, Uncle Doug.
Mary Frances, don't bother the governor No, it's okay.
Uncle Doug, can't you graduate a law so I can come tonight?
It's hard to say no to that charming composer
But you must be bored silly there.
Now let's find your brother,
and no longer running.
No!
That's a little special The girl who got there, TB.
Yes.
What we do in this case builds almost everything protect their future.
Then you will need a good treasurer Your office is upstairs
That's one with your name on the door.
At first, everything was covered in water.
The only ones that live are some small animals,
floats on a raft
Don't know what to do, _ the crayfish volunteered
and tear the raft into the big sea
He tries every day to reach the bottom,
and on the fourth day, he did it.
He built a big mud the chimney attached
above the water level.
Mud spreads and creates a newly formed Earth.
From this chimney that is the Chickasaw people
and Choctaw people are allowed to come and stay on top
new surface with all animals
Oh!
Will you lower it?
I have a boiling dinner.
Avis.
What's wrong, sugar cane?
Oh.
Where is Gladys?
Is he still sleeping?
Yes.
Did you see Mary?
He hasn't returned from school?
No.
What do they egg about?
Mrs. Bernstein paid for them.
Again?
Thomas, did you hear that chuckled outside?
We have our own chicken.
We have lots of eggs.
He has a new mouth to feed, Bertie.
This is difficult for him.
How is the job?
Money is bad
Shop or nation?
Second.
Johnson wants to start filling in cost farmers to graze on our land.
It's about time.
He will go to Washington,
get our funds to be released school.
That's good.
School is the only way our children will
make something from themselves
Hope they include funds interest.
Atornado is coming.
Where are you?
Uh, listen to corn growing.
Look at you
You're dirty And where is your school book?
I can't run with them books, Mama.
Well, you can't learn without them,
and now you make me and your father late Can I come?
No, you go to your house home sister
Celina's house is very boring.
I want to go with you.
Well, you are too young But I'm two old hands!
How old are you
Two hands.
Thumbs included
Yes.
Okay then.
You cleanse yourself.
Good!
He is ready.
We all spark from Ababinili
He divorced us here and is there to make light
And when we die, he gathers we wake up,
so that it makes one big fire
to show our house from Ababinili
Nothing is permitted between old and fire, forever
Ishnaakoot shikonno & apos; pa & apos; ishanooli
I'm sorry.
What did he say, Daddy?
Ishnaakoot shikonno & apos; pa & apos; ishanooli
What can we do? you, Johnston
Our funds that you hold trust,
I need them to be released Chickasaw people
so we can invest in education.
Ah, and that's how it is all about,
want more money from U.S. government?
I tried to help my people.
And we try to build an nation,
which we hope will include your people,
after they assimilated, from Of course.
If you can't defeat them, maybe also joins them.
Which brings me to another problem,
Indian violation code
And what about Indians, Senators,
Do you feel very offensive?
We can't have it Americans are involved
Bad activity U.S. allegations illegal.
An unpleasant activity?
Pagan dance, shaman ritual.
There is no mumbo-jumbo tribal.
Come on now, Johnston, don't You want to attract your people
out of the dark ages?
Imagine, one day, with the right government,
acting India, seeing like white people,
one nation under God,
not some countries under many gods.
Senator Judd, we have dealing with white people
for more than 350 years
We dress like white people, attend church,
educating our children school as good,
if not better, than anything states in the union.
We have done all of that U.S. government
has asked us
Instead, we only request that our funds will be released.
so we can continue to give it to our people.
We will have a committee see that problem
Oh, yes, right away so we are back in the session
We are patient people.
We will get what is ours, even if it takes 100 years.
Happy days, gentlemen.
My advice to you, Governor,
Join the American spirit entrepreneurship.
Don't look for handouts.
No, no, let your people pull away by bootstraps them and join the future,
as we experience.
I guarantee, sir, my people don't need lessons in hard work,
grit, or make a stay abroad
Good afternoon.
Well, that's how it is expected.
With all that holy, what do they want us to do? None
We have that history.
I'm afraid it looks like we might have to move
exit the Capitol Building, TB.
I don't know if we're going to do it now Not only us, Governor.
Many people have
bet on that life
We will find out.
My father told us our story traces of tears,
how in 1837, we arrived in a new land called the Indian Territory.
It was a difficult time.
But as my father said,
Chickasaws will do it never conquered
But to live is to change,
and so happened in 1906
We are now facing maybe we are the biggest challenge They violated on our government
for one of their own,
a country called Oklahoma.
When the world is still young,
There is only one person on it.
Seeing that he was lonely, The Great Spirit sent a boy.
They walk on earth and find it good,
but it's too cold There are no trees and no flowers to make the world beautiful.
One night the young brave dreamed of,
and he told his father that was going to be sacrificed
that beauty will run above earth.
"I will surrender myself to Great Spirit," said the boy,
and from the grave sprang up the first pine tree,
and from there all the other beautiful trees
Mary!
Mary, where are you
That's it!
Mary Frances, where are you?
Mama is looking for you!
Readin & apos;
It's better to hurry up.
Mom says cook to get rid of everything
if the weather is cold
They really tried to take action now
with Senator Judd as chairman of the committee
Violations of India
What people are afraid of they don't know
Lasts.
Wash, you three!
Yes father!
Wash, now.
Yes, yes, Mama!
Gladys, go to the kitchen and get a roll.
Yes, Mama.
Come on, sit down.
Cook says that you didn't come here...
Yes, the cook said he went to throw everything away if the weather is cold
Yes we know.
And God, we ask for protection and the conditions above this our family and people.
Amen.
So, Mary, when did you go for college?
Well, um...
Still going to Oklahoma College for Women

like his older brother and sister,
good and normal
You hear that there is, uh, more bodies found in the Lusitania?
Unfortunately, there are still more than 1,200 passengers not counted yet.
Including Charles Frohman.
And for those who hear my soul sobbing in the darkest hours,
I leave you a legacy from my uncharted future,
thrown far between star fields.
Mary, where did you study that from?
He learned from when the Frohman played
come through the city
He can say the whole isn't it, Mary, isn't it?
Yes.
Is this what we have in store for after eating entertainment?
Unforgiving beauty, why? Do you spend?
After thyselves...
He will handle it.
He lends to those who are free.
Mary?
Yes.
Bring this basket up to Brewster's place.
Why do I have to go?
Because they have eight mouths to feed
and they are as poor as church mice.
That's why.
Well, if they have eight mouths,
then it seems like I have 16 feet
Mary.

He always wins, every time.
He shouldn't do it Out there alone, Bertie.
He shouldn't...

He must stay here, where I can make it safe I can keep it safe.

Good afternoon, girl.
Good afternoon, Ms. Davis.
So I consider everyone to work on their monologue to dazzle and fascinate us?
So how many of you are actually serious? about career at phase after graduation?
Ah.
Well, I feel this is mine the task of telling you it's only small percentage of people
really makes a live performance
So today we will talk about those who succeed.
Who is your favorite actress?
Sarah Bernhardt.
Yes, Sarah Bernhardt has been called the most famous actress has ever lived
And I think that...
an accurate statement
But do you also know that? He lost his leg midway through his career?
However, he continued had a brilliant career
without help an artificial leg.
Destiny takes her leg, but it doesn't take what's inside,
passion and ability to say something.
That will separate you from the masses
Enchantment will cheat.
Beauty will fade.
But a woman with faith will last forever.
So what should you say?
What story do you have to do? tell?
That's what I want to know.
That's the class all about.
You can do it, all of you.
WELCOME.
And now, um, we're going to talk about it Sarah Bernhardt most controversial role, Hamlet,
where he leads.
Yes, a woman can play a male role,
far more more convincing than
A man can play women role, I guarantee.
Why do I dare to think that you will understand?
Yes, you, who heard my soul crying in the darkest time,
I offer my future unmapped inheritance
thrown far between star fields
That's great!
Frohman, isn't it?
Is that what you do? for class monologue?
Maybe Shakespeare.
you?
Shakespeare
Does everyone need to do a monologue?
Oh, yes, don't run away.
I can accompany you if you want,
some music, maybe a piano?
Very?
Of course, it can boost the dramatic impact.
So where are you from?
I was born in Emet.
This is a small city.
You may never even have heard it
My parents live at Tishomingo now.
I know Tishomingo.
Are you Chickasaw?
Do you have Indian stories, like myths and legends?
I'm serious.
I don't know anything, nothing about your nation
I mean besides my father always saying stupid things
Oh come on.
You have to give me something.
Please?
Pretty fun
My father used to tell me this.
The stage is yours The makers of the Old Earth make everything
the way he wants
But one day, he saw going down and he saw Rabbit shivering cold
Rabbits don't want to be like this he started making a little song and a little dance
so he can try to tell Maker of the earth
how he wants it
Happy like Hernia, wheresoe & er; er & er him "ice,
because he has been blessed and interesting eye
so, my eyes are more often washed from his lips. No, I am as bad as a bear,
for animals, when they see me, they run away in fear!
Oh, forgive my interruption.
Hi, Ms. Davis.
Please continue Uh, I just finished what to do for the class,

That's what I want to see.
See you in class
Thank you, Ms. Davis.
If you ask me when this is legend and tradition,
I have to answer, should tell you,
in bird nests in forest,
in nail prints from bison,
in the eagle field.
Listen to this Indian legend.
Like the web death that was played twixt month settings
and the sun rises, our glory sinks like the moon sank
The race of the red people must perish immediately,
because the foot must be anywhere the web is playing,
because no dawn will be ours, and no sun rises.
No dawn is ours and not sunrise!
So tell me, what will you do next?
Um, continue my study, and then maybe New York?

Wow.

You must be Mary Frances.
I'm Thurow Lieurance, and this is a Chautauqua tour.
32 cities in 40 nights.
It's education, it's entertainment,
This is fun for the whole family,
and it's the most American something in all of America.
But, as I told Ms. Davis, I must have Indian actions
I have to have you
God forbid?
That would be really fun.
When was that?
Now.
This summer?
Ah, my dear, there's no time like now,
or immediate future right?
Please sit down.
My leg?
A few years ago, I traveled with a cart to the west,
on a music program expedition,
When a snow storm appears and changes the world to white.
You can't even see you hands in front of your face
And soon, we have a dive into the niche.
My feet are broken.
I'm stuck under the cart.
I can't move and I have left to die I lie there, drifting in and out of consciousness
Suddenly I started to hear music It's weird music, drums and rattles and gongs,
and this extraordinary rhythm which I have never heard before.
Music seems to grow is stronger and stronger
and stronger, then shut up.
I woke up in a warm sea blanket
The room was lit by fire and an Indian doctor is rubbing my eyebrows He has done what he has to do.
He amputated my leg.
But in taking it, he was saved my life.
The music, is that real?
As real as life itself.
For me, the music I heard is music from spirits
come to save my life
And since that day, I've made my life's work to bring music from Indians everywhere
So what are you saying?
Do I have my Indian actions?
Can I take my piano player with me?
Dealing.
Congratulations on joining.
That's it.
Mama!
Daddy!
Look at you, all educated.
Hello mom.
So I know you just returned and all,
but I've talked to local schools,
and they are looking for a teacher there
That's good, Father.
Uh, let's talk at home.
Good.
Say what?
Carnegie across throughout the country
I mean you're not educated enough?
Let's discuss this once he received
I will be accepted.
I just don't want you to get your hopes.
Things that are more challenging for people in our situation.
Do you mean to be an Indian?
That's not crutches, Mama.
This is an advantage.
Well, I can't afford it.
Well, maybe I can.
Tour with some weird shows.
Mama, talk to him.
He hasn't been right lately.
And ideas from you out there in the vast world...
He wants me to stay here and become a teacher
and behaves like a good, ordinary person
There is nothing wrong with good or normal But we trap you know your own mind
and to follow where God guides you,
and if that means goes cross country
and wake up on the stage,
good, then you are the best wake up on it
OK?
Centuries ago, before white people,
our people, nervous and tired,
looking desperately for a place to call home And every night, at the end from a long trip,
they are stuck holy pole on the ground
so that it leads straight towards the sky
And every morning, anywhere the way it rests, they travel,
until finally, is not leaning anymore.
The pole doesn't bring us here.
White people force us to come here.
But now, this is our home,
and we don't have to wander again, and you don't.
I like that story, Father.
And that's why I have to go, so that I can tell our story.
What is your stage name?
Mary Frances Thompson is for my daughter's name,
not a player.
What about Uncle Doug used to call him,
Aiukla Ohoyo?
Oh, no, Mama.
People must be able to say.
What did Aunt Mary call her when she was a baby?
Te Ata.
Te Ata?
I like it.
What...
what does that mean?
Morning bearer.
That's perfect.
That's because you start crying every day
At dawn,
and nothing can silence you.
I mean he's like that a cock dang,
isn't he, Bertie?
Moon, sun, wind, Rainbow,
thunder, all came to visit Ababinili
Listen to my story comes from my father and from his father before him.
The next story I will tell you is a very ancient story.
Summer is tiring,
but I have never felt more alive.
I met this Seminole woman after my last performance,
and he asked if I could know
stories about the nation.
Now the word spreads
and I met various tribes wherever I went They share stories with me so that I can share it with the whole world
How big is Kansas City?
Large
Crowds everywhere.
I will definitely do it trip too
Um, that person, when is he? will stop?
Wait.
All Indian ritual forms are prohibited?
Can't sell traditional items?
I am...
Is this correct?
In theory, not in practice.
That's what they say.
Carnegie.
Are you in, Mary?
Denied.
Hmm.
Don't you dare to rejoice in this?
I won't even dream about it.
But I think that's a sign.
Destiny has spoken.
Mama?
Yeah, baby Can you take me to the train station?
Wait, no, Mary!
Mary Frances, where are you going now?
Can I go too, Daddy?
No!

Hey.
Keep pounding
Something finally will break
What if I?
Unbreakable
See you later
Once there was a young girl,
and she lives beautifully flow.
One day, he looked into flowing in his shadow.
"Oh, me," he said.
"I'm pretty enough anyone."
So he walked towards the river bank.
"Anyone here wants a wife?"
And someone answers, "I want a wife
I want a wife."
"What should we live if we live together?"
"We will live on the grass."
"Oh, I can't live on grass.
" Grass is too rough Handsome girl like me. "
So he walked on the edge of from the river and sang again.
" Anyone here wants a wife? "
Someone replied," I want a wife. "
"What will we live if we live together?"
"We will live with seeds."
"Oh, I love seeds."
He is very happy with him and He is very happy with him,
and together they fly down the riverbank,
because they are the first spring birds
Te Ata, will you take the question?
Of course.
Which tribe do you come from?
I am chickasaw My father is Chickasaw.
My mother is of German descent
Then you're half Chickasaw.
No mom.
My heart and soul are 100% Chickasaw.
Hmm.
With the Indian Violation Act,
are songs and dances like this illegal
The Bible says God's word brings the world to be.
We Chickasaw believe in him words come as a song,
and if sharing this song is wild,
good, there's not much more to sing about it.
Because this is private event, I guarantee it
good in law
But I remind each of you to support Governor Roosevelt in his upcoming election
Mrs. Roosevelt and him are great supporters of art and will make an event like this legal for all.
Is there something? the white man
who would you consider offensive?
I think the only thing that is most disturbing to Indians
is to find that white people grow corn that is very good
and never sang it.
If you excuse me, uh, it's amazing.
Wow, thank you.
Uh, Clyde Fisher.
Te Ata.
Yes, of course.
Uh, uh, something to do with,
eh, rest day huh?
Morning bearer.
Oh, yes, beautiful, beautiful.
How do you know?
Oh, uh, well, even though I'm a professor,
I have always been a student Indian culture
And what do you teach?
Alright, me...
My first love is astronomy, eh,
But I also teach, uh, zoology,
uh, paleontology, anthropology,
uh, geolo...
Wow, am I boring you?
No.
No, that's, uh, it's pretty amazing.
What makes you interested Indian culture
Well, I...
I'm on an expedition to the west,
and I was adopted by the Sioux Tribe
My Indian name, although less in the Te Ata image,
certainly right.
They call me Fear of Bears.
You are amazing here here.
Thank you.
Dr. Fisher.
ma'am.
I certainly hope to see it . You and your husband out in Nature Museum of History tomorrow
for planetarium opening
This is a small meeting.
If it's open to the public too.
Will not miss the world.
Great.
Alright, I'll leave you woman for that
Your performance, my dear, it's really amazing.
I have never experienced it .
You really shine, I'm clear.
A messenger lowers this.
This is a casting service.
Thank you.
Ah!
I got it!
I am the giot
What do you get?
A role!
Real roles on Broadway!
What?
The Red Poppy said.
It's said here, it's open December 19th.
This is not the main thing, but...
it's fourth on billing!
Who cares?
It's beautiful!
We have to celebrate!
What will you do tomorrow?
Yes, uh, uh, they...
Natural History Museum.
Do you want to come?
I will pass.
But when I got off work tonight,
we are celebrating!
In creating a planetarium, I have one simple task,
to take one of the most difficult subjects,
one that we cannot achieve and touch,
and make it understandable, not only for men or women,
but for small children.
And tonight I will explain it approach to conun it...
drum.
Hmm.
But first I want to say what it means See you here tonight.
Hah.
I traveled in Germany about two years ago,
and I'm lucky to meet a man
named Carl Zeiss.
How do you know a lot?
Huh, I have a love of learning.
At present, we walk between both 600 and 700 miles per hour,
based on the constant earth rotation
Why waste momentum?
How dare I say?
I never thought about that the previous way
It's important to open people's minds to new things.
Ignorance gives birth to fear, and is the only way to conquer it
is to make unknown unknown.
Hmm.
I think I agree with that.
I will say more than agree.
Every time you go on stage,
You bring light to a dark world.
I gave this, uh, small outdoor talk to...
a small young camp bastard at Bear Mountain,
to the north
They come from poor homes.
But...
But their minds are sponges.
This is probably the only nature they have ever seen.
Will you...
will you consider performing for them?
Well, that sounds beautiful,
but I just landed Broadway role.
Congratulations!
Hah!
Great!
Great.
Now, this is my first role MY...
I have to stay focused.
No, of course.
Of course, of course.
Hey, uh, maybe next time.
That's...
very beautiful.
Can I offer you a meal celebration
I like that.
Perfect.

I think I can...
You don't know my father I better go first and, um, make your way.
Mama!
Hey.
Where is daddy
Well, he doesn't feel too good.
Something happened.
What?
I still don't believe three Men come to dad's shop
and take merchandise.
Only those things that have to do with our culture Did you call the sheriff?
Unfortunately, the government is taking them,
agent who enforces the Code of Ethics Violation of India
It's about all his heart can take
But he's a Thompson.
He will pass it.
I'll tell Clyde not to come.
If you are serious about this guy,
then we need to meet him.
How to kick it when he is down.
Hi daddy.
Shame on the government.
That's not true.
Now, that's not new, honey.
You need something Uh, water, thank you
Good.

Oh, a small fine.
The problem is that the basket was made by locals who needs money to put food on the table
Are there plans when you are at home?

Uncle Doug and Betty can come.
Oh, I'm sure they will be happy.
And maybe Daddy too him...
does he feel better?
Yes.
We'll see.
Good.
Is he crazy?
News is not the time to promote our culture He feels it's exactly like that is the right time.
Well, that will only cause more difficulty.
Why can't he get a normal job
I thought I would ask.
He will do it, so...
Well, I don't need to see it.
Good.

Since I saw it appear,
I just found out.
It took a while for destiny to agree with me Now, the trip here must be so is not there,

Yes sir.
Okay, I want you to do something for me
Whatever.
Bring him home Ask him to stop all this the world runs the business
And if what you say is true and you can give,
then he can be calm, good and normal,
here, with the people.
Sir, I'm not sure we're talking about the same woman To think that I can,
if you want, I don't,
to attach the rope to it,

That sounds like the same woman.
Mr. Thompson, your daughter has a gift
He can open eyes of the world
for Chickasaw people, for all Indians,
just by telling stories.
I mean you've seen it? do?
This is her home,
and he will always go home for you If he can love me half just like he loves you,
that will make me the happiest man in the world Mr. Thompson, I didn't ask for this instant answer,
and I will wait as long as is needed,
and I will obey your orders decision.
OK?
There are no answers yet
Well, I'm proud of you, Afraid of bears.
Why don't you both go to drive
and let me work Old Papa Bear?
I think I know that place.
Beautiful.
I've had my cathedral since I was a child.
Hmm.
In the past, my people,
they are looking for place to call home
In front of them is a great white dog, Ofi Tohbi.
Ofi Tohbi?
Mm-hmm.
He traveled far ahead of them,
always be alert, and always warn of any danger
She's loyal guardian, scout And then one day, they came to the big river They call it Misha Sipokoni.
Mississippi?
Hmm.
They know the house across the river .
They know the house is somewhere on the other side
from the width, width of the river in front of them
So fast, they gathered rafts to cross
The first raft is taken a group of men
and beloved white dog.
But the raft broke.
All men make it to the beach,
But beloved white dog,
stand proud on drifting wood,
vanished in the river.
Did they ever find out if happened to dogs?
No.
But someone said he could still be seen,
guiding our people
Deer.
Sorry I have to kill you, brother, But I need your meat.
I will respect your courage,
for your strength, and for you beauty.
Next I will tell a story
my father told me when I was young.
There are many bird colors,
red, blue, green, and yellow,
but only one bird.
There are lots of horse colors,
black, brown, yellow and white,
but all of them are one horse.
So with cattle.
So with men.
In this land, where one is only Indian
now humans are of every color.
All of this happened at the heart of mystery.
My name is Te Ata, carrier in the morning.
I am chickasaw I am a storyteller.
Remember who you are, Te Ata.
Broadway will keep calling.
Hollywood too
But you tell your story is meant to be told.
I will not disappoint you
Oh, don't worry about me.
You did it for them.
Hmm.
Thank you for everything.
Oh.
And thank you.
For what?
Helping me be me Hope your father is fine.
I will.
And once he is better,
I'll be back for you, my love
I look forward to both of them that.
And write?
Sorry.
Write to me?
Every day.
Your letter means world
Oh!
I almost forgot to give this to you,
your letter from Margaret
I love you my daughter.
And I love you, Afraid of Bears.
Oh.
All up!
Last call!
How are you father? Not good last night.
I can swear he cried.
But he never cried before the day in his life
I know.
He worries me.
What is that?
White House?
President Roosevelt?
Well, it's less than a week.
Come here!
Oh!
I was invited to appear in the White House for President Roosevelt s s first dinner
But I won't leave if you promise not to die I'll stay here with you.
When you went to college, I didn't like it
When you go that summer tours,
I don't like it Pittsburgh, it's impossible
New York, no.
But I will never forgive myself if you don't go to the White House.
I'm sorry.
You know that the first stomp dance I once brought you to
The elder took you besides and said
"Ishnaakoot shikonno & apos; pa & apos; ishanooli."
I remember.
What he said is someday
You will become a storyteller.
I know deep down that he's right
But I'm afraid.
I'm selfish.
I don't want to share.
If you are only a little girl,
Your uncle Doug goes to Washington
when they tried to get rid of us...
and now you will return and show it
we live and are healthy
and that Chickasaw is invincible and invincible.
Then you go back home
because we have a marriage to plan
Welcome, Te Ata.
It's a pleasure to go to spend the night in the White House.
Here...
here for...
tonight?
Didn't they tell you
Oh, in the Lincoln Bedroom.
We will arrange a number of things.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Roosevelt.
I, you look fun.
Senator Judd.
Te Ata.
You are very well known my people.
Your people
You will find out soon, senator.
Let me show you to your room.
Tonight will not happen complete without you Try to rest a little
before your appearance tonight, my dear
Mrs. Roosevelt, thank you for everything.
To my friends, I am Eleanor.
Mr. Lincoln, there is an Indian girl in the White House,
and that is true he must be here
My name is Te Ata, carrier in the morning.
I am Chickasaw and a storyteller,
and this is my story people.
In the past, the Great Creator brought two brothers,
Choctaw and Chickasaw.
Brothers looking for new land and travel
with the protection of Ofi Tohbi, the white dog.
They bring with them pole leaning holy
which gives them direction.
Finally, they found a new land
and one brother, Chickasaw, goes in one direction
and Choctaw on the other side.
And by doing this, they created two strong countries.
And they sing a song.
Ababinili runs a good way.
He reminds us through our ancestors
how all this beauty becomes.
