gets the doll that is baked inside the cake will receive $5.00 in Green Dollars when they turn it in to Sharon. So eat your cake on the 12th of March! You just might be the lucky person of the
day. There may be additional activities going on as well during your lunch that day, so let’s have a little fun and everyone come join in the celebration.

Comanches and Choctaws
Recently I read an intriguing narrative of Native American history, Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History. The author, S.C. Gwynne, offers a vivid account of the forty-year struggle between Comanche Indians and white settlers over control of the land. Intertwined with the drama of the battles is the story of Quanah, possibly the greatest of the Indian chiefs.
Although the Apaches and Sioux were valiant defenders of their tribal lands, the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches probably had the greatest influence on the development of the American West. Their culture evolved around the horse that was brought to the Southwest scene by the Spanish in 1598. The horse not only facilitated their mobility in pursuing buffalo, but it put them at great advantage in dealing with their enemies.
In contrast to the Plains tribes who were hunters, the Indians east of the Mississippi River were largely sedentary, primarily farmers. The cultural patterns of the major tribes in the Southeast—Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws, Cherokees, and

New Activities coming to St. Elizabeth PlaceCoffe & Donuts, Dominoes, Card Games, & PuzzlesBeginning in February, each Monday morning at 9:30 a.m. there will be coffee and donuts available in the St. Elizabeth Activity Room.
There will also be Mexican Train Dominoes in the St. Elizabeth Activity Room at 1:30 p.m. each Friday. If you don’t know how to play, come and down and learn. It’s actually very simple.
Skip Bo and Uno will be in the St. Elizabeth Activity Room each 1st Tuesday afternoon beginning at 1:30 p.m.
We have also placed a jigsaw puzzle on the table in the St. Elizabeth library for anyone wanting a little something extra to occupy your time during the week and the Dakim game is always
available also in the Library as well. We have had several residents including Ruby Hoffmeyer and Mildred Morris already huddled around the puzzle table this week and they are making good progress and getting the first puzzle complete.
Watch your calendars and join in the activities!
Seminoles – may explain why they were called “The Five Civilized Tribes.” My own longtime interests have been focused on my neighbors, the Mississippi Choctaws. They signed their first treaty with the United States in 1786, defining the boundaries of the Choctaw Nation, all of what is now Mississippi. In each of the six following treaties, land was ceded to the government.
In 1830 the last of the Choctaw land was given up. The treaty called for the removal of the natives to Oklahoma Indian Territory. The program covered a period of twenty years or so. Difficulty in locating “passengers” for the journey was an ongoing problem, and many who were relocated returned. Those who then lived in “the shadows” in Mississippi for half a century survived under the worst of living conditions. Finally responding to pleas for help in 1918, the Bureau of Indian Affairs purchased land in the central part of the state for a reservation and created an agency in 1928. Life on the reserved land improved slowly; however, the stage was set for dynamic change in 1945 with the creation of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
Under the leadership of recent chieftains, the band has made unbelievable progress in improving the lives of its people. Youth no longer have to go to federal school’s in Oklahoma in order to get their high school education. A hundred or more students are in college annually, whereas, as late as 1950 there were none. The reservation has a health center with hospital, nursing care, and retirement facility. Employment in Choctaw industrial activities is high. The most outstanding visible feature at the reservation as one enters it today is the hotel-gaming scene, The Silver Star (10 stories) and the Golden Moon (20 stories).
