Newbie with Many Questions!

Eufaula · 06-21-2007, 02:11 PM

I am a Grandmother of Muskogee ,Cherokee and Euro descent. I have lived my entire Life in Georgia, as well as many generations of my family. I know I am descended from the Stiggins and Natchez Haw Family line.
Being that I am from family that remained in Georgia, I know that we were listed as Non-white in the 1800 census'. We were socially banned from our heritage and lost our traditions along the way as most families of the southeast were that had Native ties! I am now trying hard to recover some of the lost traditions and learn of my families past.
We do not have any local Muskogee gatherings, but do have PowWows. I know this is not a traditional Southeastern gathering , but many here go to Honor what was lost to us as best we can.
I would like to know if there is someone here that can guide me on appropriate Muskogee Regalia for women, so that I may participate in the intertribal.

I have a frind who is Muskogee from Oklahoma. I could ask him what type of regalia is worn. It will take me awhile to get this information, if you dont mind waiting.
