* NOTE: On our Stow Concert CD, the intro to track 10 contains erroneous information about slavery & the status of formerly enslaved peoples among the Choctaw Nation (& other western native nations). For historical perspectives on this fascinating topic, please see THIS article:
- When Tribal Nations Expel Their Black Members: Clashes between sovereignty rights and civil rights reveal an uncomfortable and complicated story about race and belonging in America. (Philip Deloria / THE NEW YORKER / July 18, 2022)
Also, Marek has drawn out some of Lucinda Davis’ 1937 WPA interview about her enslavement among the Creek HERE >>
Our understanding of this historical material is constantly growing & evolving; Please let us know if you have any questions! ~ The Hardtacks
