S10, E2, Pt1: Choctaw Labor Day Festival 2025 | Where History Meets Celebration!

What if I told you there's one weekend every year where thousands of Choctaw people gather to celebrate who we are, where we've been, and where we're going? In 2025, I had the opportunity to spend Labor Day weekend with my tribe at the Choctaw Nation Labor Day Festival in Tvshkahomma, Oklahoma - and it's one of my favorite weekends of the entire year. In this special series, we're exploring: The history of the festival The traditions that have stood the test of time What makes this gathering so meaningful And why it continues to bring our people together year after year. Whether you've been attending the festival your whole life or you're discovering it for the very first time, I'd love for you to join me, Chief Gary Batton, and Shauna Williams as we kick off this journey through one of the Choctaw Nation's most cherished traditions.
