I have heard that same story many many times over the years, so I knew how it would end. Still hearing you tell the story was enjoyable and made me smile. Thank you!
OMG! i LOVE this story! :-) It's an old one and this brought back some memories, first heard it from an uncle of mine back in the 60s. He lived in a tiny town in Kansas, barely a spot on the map. It was small but they did have their own fire station. It doubled as the library and on Sundays the people would all go down there to look at the book. A little humor there, very little ;-). Taft's version of this story was close but he didn't tell it quite as good as Sammy. Thank you!
My Stepfather always told my Sister and I this story when we were young.......and many more. He was of Cherokee decent. So neat to find it here 6 decades later.
Hey there, I am currently learning about my ancestry as being pale faced, and love the content. My family comes from the Eastern Tribes and I am glad you have this channel. I hope to visit the nation when I start my family to learn more. Thanks for the content and blessing us with the wisdom of our people.
When we went somewhere, Dad would tell us kids, watch out for Falling Rock! the ani must have been busy in our hills, because they put those signs up all over LOL. It would be cool if he spoke the old language with subtitles in English. That's a good way to learn, something too many don't want to bother with. niio
LOL! As soon as I saw the title. My dad told this jk many times over the years. His version was about an old, aging chief that had to chose which of 2 sons to take his place, It was a HUNTING story. Who brought back the most meat. The rest was about the same.
I have seen/heard the story you've mentioned about a Chief who had to choose who to take his place between his two sons. I have been trying to find it again for a long time. It's a wonderful story.
