The Story

Me with Conference Coordinator/
Choctaw Author/Storyteller Tim Tingle

It’s been awhile since I was impacted by something as much as with the Five Tribes Story Conference.

Filled with storytelling, music, workshops, food and laughter, the conference took place in Muskogee, Oklahoma last September.

It solidified who I am as a written storyteller, the importance of what I do, and increased my pride in being Choctaw. But most of all, it confirmed my call to tell stories as Jesus Christ did to reach the hurting people in this world.

Commemorative

It was the journey of many lifetimes.

The day started last May at five a.m.. With the three hour drive from East Texas to Tvshka Homma, Oklahoma, we left nothing to chance on missing any part of this great day.

The moment we arrived on Tribal Grounds, our family was treated like VIP’s. Shuttled on a golf cart from the parking area and then by bus to the starting point, we were greeted by Chief Gregory Pyle and Assistant Chief Gary Batton.
