The Ouachita are a Native American tribe from northeastern Louisiana along the Ouachita River.
History
The Ouachita were loosely affiliated with the Caddo Confederacy. Their traditional homelands were the lower reaches of the Ouachita River and along the Black River. Around 1690, the tribe is believed to have settled at Pargoud Landing near present-day Monroe, Louisiana.
Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, a French-Canadian colonizer, encountered the Ouachita in 1700. He first met members of the tribe transporting salt to Taensa. Bienville traveled on to the principal Ouachita village, which he described as housing 70 people in five houses.
The Great Myths and History of the Lost OUACHITA(WASHITAW) Civilization of Moundbuilders
*AFRICAN'S IN PRE-COLUMBIAN AMERICA:*
A great deal of the Mounds located in North America contained ancient Libyan (ancient Libyan's were Dark-skin African's) and Nubian scripts, artifacts, alphabets, and inscriptions. Some which can be traced back to the "Mandingo Tribe" in Africa. In the famous Ohio Seip Mound, a Nubian sculptured head was found, it dated back to 1,000 B.C., but far older artifacts were found in other Burial Mounds. There's also signs of the Muslim presence in pre-Columbian America Burial Mounds.
Then a careful study of Native American Indian tribal names has revealed that many of the names are derived from Arab and Islamic roots and/or origins, such as the; Anasazi, Apache, Arawak, Algonquin, Arikana, Chavin, Cherokee, Cree, Hohokam, Hupa, Hopi, Iroquois, Makkah, Ma...

Civilized Tribe - History of the Choctaw
For centuries, the Choctaw pursued peaceful agricultural endeavors in the southeastern United States.
The Choctaw tribe contributed soldiers to the U.S. in every major war since the Northwest Indian War (1785-1795) and the War of 1812. Choctaw Code Talkers provided crucial intelligence by communicating in the Choctaw language during World War I and World War II, dumbfounding the enemy.
Deemed one of the five “Civilized Tribes” because they adopted many colonial practices, including many converting to Christianity, the Choctaw were forcibly relocated to Indian Territory in 1830 by the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.
Representing the Choctaw nation, Ryan Spring will discusses the History of the Choctaw up to the Trail of Tears at the Allen Public Library.

Oklahoma is BEAUTIFUL! 😍 (Visiting Southern Oklahoma's BEST nature spots!)
THIS is Oklahoma?! Growing up we never knew that Oklahoma has mountains and SURPRISE, there are not only mountains, but lots of other beautiful scenery! We spent a few days road tripping across the southern part of the state, checking out some of its best nature spots, including the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Turner Falls, the Talimena National Scenic Byway, and Beaver Bend State Park. It was a blast and completely blew us away!

*AFRICAN'S IN PRE-COLUMBIAN AMERICA:*
A great deal of the Mounds located in North America contained ancient Libyan (ancient Libyan's were Dark-skin African's) and Nubian scripts, artifacts, alphabets, and inscriptions. Some which can be traced back to the "Mandingo Tribe" in Africa. In the famous Ohio Seip Mound, a Nubian sculptured head was found, it dated back to 1,000 B.C., but far older artifacts were found in other Burial Mounds. There's also signs of the Muslim presence in pre-Columbian America Burial Mounds.
Then a careful study of Native American Indian tribal names has revealed that many of the names are derived from Arab and Islamic roots and/or origins, such as the; Anasazi, Apache, Arawak, Algonquin, Arikana, Chavin, Cherokee, Cree, Hohokam, Hupa, Hopi, Iroquois, Makkah, Mahigan, Mohawk, Nazca, Zulu, and Zuni. The Algonquian Language contain words with Arabiyyah roots that pertain to; navigation, astronomy, meteorology, medicine, and anatomy.
How can some of you "so-called" historian's continue to ignore ancient artifacts and records that prove the existence of oceanic voyages of cultures thousands of years prior to Columbus? Blacks owned about one million square miles of land in the "Louisiana Territories" and the South Eastern and Florida region, as well as California. In all these areas of the U.S., there were the Black Aboriginal Indigenous Inhabitant nations that existed before Columbus' arrival.
Black Indians are not solely a result of African slaves mixing with so-called Red Indians who were fleeing from slavery as many documented sources would have you to believe. Black Indians are indigenous to America—North, South, and Central before the so-called Red Man, before the Europeans, before the so-called Bering Strait crossings. The Olmecs, Washitaw, Moors, Yamasee, Mound Builders planted the seed of civilization in the Americas—Black Indians!"
The Washitaw were direct descendants of the Olmecs who mixed in the Malian Moors (Abu Bakari II of ca. 1311 CE of Mali). The name “Washitaw” comes from the Washita River which flows along Northwest Texas and Oklahoma to the Red River where the Cheyenne Native Americans lived with the Chawasha, meaning “Raccoon People.” The Washo were a Negroid tribe living above the New Orleans Bayou and were of Tunican linguistic stock. The name “Washitaw” is a derivative of the term “Ouachita” or what is now “Wichita.” The term is a Choctaw term which means “Big Arbor” which represented the Grass thatched homes. The Washitaw was originally from lower Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama (named after Nubian-Sudanese Ali Baba). The tribe was officially named “Wichita” by the US Government in the Camp Holmes Treaty of 1835. The Wichita were also known as “Paniwassaha” or by the French Panioussa which means “Black Pawnee.” French traders from Illinois called them “Pani Pique” which means Tattooed Pawnee. The Washitaw or Raccoon People were called Raccoons because of their black faces. When describing the Washitaw, the French describes the blacks who lived in the large grass houses. The tribe is the descendants of the Olmecs and Toltecs of Mexico.
The Washitaw are still African Negritic peoples and they, like many of the ancient Blacks who live in the Americas became victims of the Papal Edict which opened the way for the colonialization of the New World and the taking of people into slavery and occupation of their lands.
The Washitaw build hundreds of earthen pyramid mounds all over the southern and midwestern parts of the U.S. Some, such as the mound at Poverty Point in Louisiana is one of the most sacred sites of the Washitaw. Skeletons found in Washitaw gravesites from the pre-Columbian period show a tall people with characteristics similar to Africans.

For centuries, the Choctaw pursued peaceful agricultural endeavors in the southeastern United States.
The Choctaw tribe contributed soldiers to the U.S. in every major war since the Northwest Indian War (1785-1795) and the War of 1812. Choctaw Code Talkers provided crucial intelligence by communicating in the Choctaw language during World War I and World War II, dumbfounding the enemy.
Deemed one of the five “Civilized Tribes” because they adopted many colonial practices, including many converting to Christianity, the Choctaw were forcibly relocated to Indian Territory in 1830 by the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek.
Representing the Choctaw nation, Ryan Spring will discusses the History of the Choctaw up to the Trail of Tears at the Allen Public Library.
A GIS/GPS specialist for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Historic Preservation Department, Spring received his bachelor’s in anthropology from the University of Arkansas in 2011. He was hired by the tribe to implement GIS (Geographic Information System) and GPS (Global Positioning System) technology to aid in protecting sites important to the Choctaw people, creating cultural maps for education, and conducting Choctaw cultural presentations, research and advisement.
“Being a member of the Choctaw Nation means I have the duty to respect my ancestors, do my best to aid my family and tribe, and to make the future culturally and environmentally sustainable for future generations of Choctaw people,” Spring said.
Spring is enrolled at Southeastern Oklahoma State University to earn his master’s in Native American Leadership. He enjoys playing Choctaw stickball for the Choctaw Nation’s stickball team as well as helping coach stickball to youth and adults in his community.

THIS is Oklahoma?! Growing up we never knew that Oklahoma has mountains and SURPRISE, there are not only mountains, but lots of other beautiful scenery! We spent a few days road tripping across the southern part of the state, checking out some of its best nature spots, including the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, Turner Falls, the Talimena National Scenic Byway, and Beaver Bend State Park. It was a blast and completely blew us away!

*AFRICAN'S IN PRE-COLUMBIAN AMERICA:*
A great deal of the Mounds located in North America contained ancient Libyan (ancient Libyan's were Dark-skin African's) and Nubian scripts, artifacts, alphabets, and inscriptions. Some which can be traced back to the "Mandingo Tribe" in Africa. In the famous Ohio Seip Mound, a Nubian sculptured head was found, it dated back to 1,000 B.C., but far older artifacts were found in other Burial Mounds. There's also signs of the Muslim presence in pre-Columbian America Burial Mounds.
Then a careful study of Native American Indian tribal names has revealed that many of the names are derived from Arab and Islamic roots and/or origins, such as the; Anasazi, Apache, Arawak, Algonquin, Arikana, Chavin, Cherokee, Cree, Hohokam, Hupa, Hopi, Iroquois, Makkah, Mahigan, Mohawk, Nazca, Zulu, and Zuni. The Algonquian Language contain words with Arabiyyah roots that pertain to; navigation, astronomy, meteorology, medicine, and anatomy.
How can some of you "so-called" historian's continue to ignore ancient artifacts and records that prove the existence of oceanic voyages of cultures thousands of years prior to Columbus? Blacks owned about one million square miles of land in the "Louisiana Territories" and the South Eastern and Florida region, as well as California. In all these areas of the U.S., there were the Black Aboriginal Indigenous Inhabitant nations that existed before Columbus' arrival.
Black Indians are not solely a result of African slaves mixing with so-called Red Indians who were fleeing from slavery as many documented sources would have you to believe. Black Indians are indigenous to America—North, South, and Central before the so-called Red Man, before the Europeans, before the so-called Bering Strait crossings. The Olmecs, Washitaw, Moors, Yamasee, Mound Builders planted the seed of civilization in the Americas—Black Indians!"
The Washitaw were direct descendants of the Olmecs who mixed in the Malian Moors (Abu Bakari II of ca. 1311 CE of Mali). The name “Washitaw” comes from the Washita River which flows along Northwest Texas and Oklahoma to the Red River where the Cheyenne Native Americans lived with the Chawasha, meaning “Raccoon People.” The Washo were a Negroid tribe living above the New Orleans Bayou and were of Tunican linguistic stock. The name “Washitaw” is a derivative of the term “Ouachita” or what is now “Wichita.” The term is a Choctaw term which means “Big Arbor” which represented the Grass thatched homes. The Washitaw was originally from lower Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama (named after Nubian-Sudanese Ali Baba). The tribe was officially named “Wichita” by the US Government in the Camp Holmes Treaty of 1835. The Wichita were also known as “Paniwassaha” or by the French Panioussa which means “Black Pawnee.” French traders from Illinois called them “Pani Pique” which means Tattooed Pawnee. The Washitaw or Raccoon People were called Raccoons because of their black faces. When describing the Washitaw, the French describes the blacks who lived in the large grass houses. The tribe is the descendants of the Olmecs and Toltecs of Mexico.
The Washitaw are still African Negritic peoples and they, like many of the ancient Blacks who live in the Americas became victims of the Papal Edict which opened the way for the colonialization of the New World and the taking of people into slavery and occupation of their lands.
The Washitaw build hundreds of earthen pyramid mounds all over the southern and midwestern parts of the U.S. Some, such as the mound at Poverty Point in Louisiana is one of the most sacred sites of the Washitaw. Skeletons found in Washitaw gravesites from the pre-Columbian period show a tall people with characteristics similar to Africans.

In part one, we investigate the history, lives, and culture of the Comanche Nation, the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Fort Sill Apache.
"In the Shadow of the Wichitas" is a four-part documentary that celebrates the rich cultural history of Lawton, Okla.
It was produced by The Lawton Constitution with support from Comanche County Memorial Hospital, Comanche Home Center, the Lawton/Fort Sill Chamber of Commerce, and Hilliary Communications.
The Appalachian Trail runs directly through the Bennington Triangle. It's quite bizarre. The story of Paula Jean Welden, and the Bennington Triangle.

The Ouachita are a Native American tribe from northeastern Louisiana along the Ouachita River.
History
The Ouachita were loosely affiliated with the Caddo Confederacy. Their traditional homelands were the lower reaches of the Ouachita River and along the Black River. Around 1690, the tribe is believed to have settled at Pargoud Landing near present-day Monroe, Louisiana.
Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, a French-Canadian colonizer, encountered the Ouachita in 1700. He first met members of the tribe transporting salt to Taensa. Bienville traveled on to the principal Ouachita village, which he described as housing 70 people in five houses.
