Choctaw Nation has photos of CHOCTAW DAYS AT THE SMITHSONIAN on their Facebook page! Just "LIKE" Choctaw Nation on Facebook and go to their Photos. You can see their Choctaw Days 2011 album of 200 photos...all good! Choctaw Nation was invited by the National Museum of the American Indian to hold a complete festival of Choctaw culture on June 22-25, 2011. It was a exciting four day event that included lots of singing & dancing and art & language & food, of course! Chief Pyle and his staff did an outstanding job organizing the festival. I was so honored to be invited to participate in this event by Choctaw Nation. They asked me to represent the Choctaw culture with my paintings & drawings. It was a great experience to meet Choctaw people from all over the country who came out for the festival. Many wanted to talk about their personal Choctaw connections and others wanted to ask questions about culture and history. I was so happy to be a part of that historic event...the first festival produced by a tribe at the Smithsonian. I will add my personal photos of the event soon.
Below is a link to the Choctaw Nation's newspaper. They wrote articles about the artists that exhibited their work in this show. I was featured on page 5...scrolling down:
