We spent two days in the CRC (Cultural Resources Center) collections with our assistant, Callie Martin. With gloves on, we handled artifacts nearly two hundred years old. I overcame some personal fears too.

I took each object out with great care and concern so these objects will be in the same condition for my grand kids

 |
| Lynda Kay took a quick break from taking photos to handle objects |
 |
| From the baskets to where I'm standing, and all the way up are where the Choctaw objects are held in the CRC |
|
 |
| Each tray is loaded with treasures from the past |
|
 |
| A turtle shell rattle |
 |
| Some items warranted closer examination |
 |
| Most know I am terrified of heights. Sometimes you just need proper motivation |
 |
| On the lift at the CRC |
 |
| Very special items are kept on that top shelf. I did not photograph them |
The sensory details these objects provided are crucial in story telling, especially in written form.
We are ready to tell some stories.
