PEOPLE. HARK.
In my opinion--which I won't name humble, since I'm posting it as an announcement --you need to be following @LostCityMagic. He's a conjurer of the Cherokee tribe in #Oklahoma. One of the loveliest aspects of his account is that he posts a Cherokee word of the day along with the word written in Cherokee and English, and with the word's phonetic pronunciation.
Don't sleep on following--you won't regret it!

@sothach It certainly does.
I never knew about that aspect of Choctaw history until I visited the First Americans Museum here in OKC. If you ever get to visit here, I highly recommend that place. I have visited countless museums all over Europe, and the First Americans Museum is hands down the best organized, best informative, most effective museum I have ever encountered.
Today is #NativeAmericanHeritageDay in celebration of #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth There are currently 574 different federally recognized tribes living within the USA…

Sharing some pictures from my stepson & I's visit to the #FirstAmericans Museum in #OKC
So much I can say about this museum, but especially have to say that this museum does a masterful job of sharing not only the history of #Indigenous people in #Oklahoma but also the contemporary experience.
To quote one of my favorite movies, "It was a good day to be indigenous."
