S10, Ep 1, Pt 3: Weaving Stories, Weaving Bloodlines: With Choctaws, Cheryl Stone Pitchford & Jonathan Watson

Join us for Part 3 of our Choctaw heritage road trip as my cousin Cheryl and I continue tracing her ancestry to Choctaw Chief Mushulatubbee. This episode takes us to The Ranch at Latham in Shady Point, Oklahoma, where Choctaw, Jonathan Watson shares the history of his family's land property that was once home to the great Choctaw Chief Mushulatubbee. While this land is rich with Choctaw history, it's also one of eastern Oklahoma's most unforgettable event destinations. Nestled near the beautiful Kiamichi Mountains, you'll get a glimpse of why The Ranch at Latham has become such a sought-after venue for weddings and special events. Blending western charm, breathtaking scenery, and authentic Oklahoma hospitality, it's truly a place where history and celebration come together. And of course, since it's owned by one of my fellow Choctaws, I have to give it a shoutout - be sure to check it out at https://www.ranchatlatham.com! In this episode, you'll get a firsthand look at Jonathan's family property, including historic Choctaw and Civil War-era gravesites that remain on the land today, along with a sneak peek at Chief Mushulatubbee's old stomping grounds. It's an incredible opportunity to stand where history happened and experience the stories that continue to live on through the land itself. Be sure to join us for Part 4, where we explore even more of the places, history, and enduring legacy of Cheryl's ancestor, Choctaw Chief Mushulatubbee.
