Young Chief (age 12)  to the right of his Father & Instructor with (walking/fighting stick) 1954

At this time Chief had been training with his father, uncle and grandfather for 6 years.

Nothing was written down, it was passed on orally from one generation to the next.

This is only about half of the training group, many of the older teenage boy and girls had left to socialize.

Everyone in the photo above are Full Blood Choctaws

Photo was taken after a training session in Bentley south of Atoka, Ok
