PRETTY WATER PUBLIC SCHOOL

   November is National Native American Heritage Month.
Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve, Gilcrease Museum, and Philbrook Museum have amazing Native American Art.
In the Choctaw language "okla" means "people" and "humma" means "red".
Today "The State of Oklahoma" literally means "The state belonging to Red People".
   I am a member of the Choctaw Nation and Ms. Cayla is a member of the Cherokee Nation.
If your child or family would like to share their Native American heritage please feel free to email me.
If they have attended any Native American cultural events you may email me photos.
   Indian brave, Indian brave.  Where are you going?  Where are you going?   Hunting bison, Hunting bison!  Indian maiden, Indian maiden.  Where are you going?  Where are you going?  Gathering nuts and berries, gathering nuts and berries.    ©Jen Jones
