Welcome to Native ChocTalk

Season 1

Season 8, Episode 1: Together We’re More, with Sara Seals

“To the Choctaw proud, ours is the sovereign nation offering opportunities for growth and prosperity.” This is the stated mission of my tribe, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. 

For the Choctaw, creating opportunities isn’t just about supporting our own people—it’s about uplifting the surrounding communities as well.

Sara Seals, Director of Marketing at Choctaw Nation, shares the tribe’s mission to capture and share the stories of our tribal members and the impactful work of the ongoing campaign, “Together We’re More.”

I was honored to be featured in this campaign, sharing my passion for preserving Native American stories. One of the key inspirations behind my work is the life and legacy of my great-grandmother, Ella.

In this episode, we dive deeper into the meaning behind “Together We’re More”—a message that extends beyond the Choctaw Nation. It reflects the power of collaboration between Choctaws and non-Natives alike. This vision comes to life every day through our tribe’s commitment to strengthening communities—investing in infrastructure, roads, education, clean water, and more.

No matter your background—Choctaw, Native, or neither—we can all embrace the idea that together, we’re stronger. Together, we’re more.

Yakoke, Sara!

S9, E1, Part 2: The Choctaw Land That Binds Us: Tiffany Baker, Choctaw

PART 2

In this new season of Native ChocTalk, I sat down with Tiffany Baker, the heart and hands behind Bakers Bar Soapery!

Tiffany shares her powerful journey of tracing her Choctaw ancestors — all connected by one common thread: the land. From uncovering family allotments and the deep sentiment of holding onto family land, to the tangled stories of district agents, guardianship scams, and the feisty squabbles between Choctaw mammas — with a bit of Tamaha, Oklahoma town gossip sprinkled in too!

Tune in to hear how Tiffany weaves her family’s past into her modern-day business, creating soaps that carry the love, land, and legacy of her people — and maybe a bit of Tamaha mischief too.

 Listen now and get inspired by the strength that runs through the land — and the families who keep it alive.
