	My Mom, Beth	This is my mother, Beth. She is a nurse. She was living during the 1960s and 70s when Indian people publically demonstrated for civil rights.
	My granddad, John Carl	This is her father, John Carl. He attended Indian boarding schools as a boy. He was so sad there that he sometimes ran away. He served with the marines during WWII.
	My Great Granddad, Joe	This is his father Joe. Joe and his wife were born on a reservation. They were living during "allotment." That's when the US government broke up the reservation and created Oklahoma. Joe worked for a store and rode to farms to collect money.
	Eufalua Oklahoma	Joe's mother was named Amanda. This is Eufaula the town she lived in. Amanda was a child during the US Civil War and lived in a refugee camp.
	GGG Granddad, London	This is Amanda's father, London. He was a boy when the Army made him leave his home to make way for white settlers. He and his family walked from Alabama to Oklahoma on the "Trail of Tears." He became a Christian and was a cattle rancher. London's mother and father died while walking on the "Trail of Tears." They were from Cussetah, a town in what is now Alabama.
