Today is National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Day. Together, we raise awareness, uplift voices, and remain committed to protecting our communities. We stand alongside families and communities who continue to seek answers, justice, and healing. Every name matters, and every story deserves to be heard.

The weather is amazing. Come see us at The Pump Bar and get some good eats!

The Choctaw and Irish are two different cultures, but they are connected by their resilience, their shared memories, and their determination to keep their languages alive.

Though both the Choctaw and Gaelic languages have stood on the brink of extinction, they have been restored as working languages through community commitment and innovative revitalization efforts. From hardship to hope, from one generation to the next, this bond endures. Today, we celebrate our shared history and honor our “kindred spirits.”

This month is Mahli Hvshi or Windy Month, which roughly corresponds with March.
During March, the lengthening days of late winter begin to bring warmer temperatures and wind. By the end of the month, the woods begin budding out, and new green growth peeks out from under the protective mat of dormant native grass.

March is a time of transition in the landscapes of the Choctaw homeland, and it was also the time when our ancestors played their biggest role in shaping these landscapes — They set them on fire.
By at least 10,000 years ago, our Native American ancestors had begun to use intentionally set range fires as a tool to manage the landscapes around them.

Over time, these regularly set range fires opened up the woods, making travel easier. They made plant and animal habitat more diverse, increased the land’s carry capacity for deer, and improved the habitat for a number of culturally important plants.

Before modern calendars, the Choctaw people followed a lunar year that aligned daily life with the rhythms of the natural world. By naming months after meaningful seasonal events, time itself became a reflection of culture, community, and connection to the land.

Love is best shared around the table. ❤️

This Valentine’s Day, try making traditional Choctaw corn pones — a simple cornmeal frybread that has brought families together for generations.

Made with just a few ingredients and lots of care, it’s the perfect way to celebrate love, culture, and connection.

Save this recipe and share the love. 💛🌽
