* 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: 

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
