Bennington youth celebrate Choctaw Heritage Day

Bennington Child Care/Headstart Partnership celebrated May’s CNO Heritage Day with a Choctaw Code Talker presentation.

Solomon Bond Louis and Ben Hampton both resided in the area, and focus was placed on Code Talker descendants as well.

Each child was awarded a Junior Code Talker certificate for participating in the hands-on learning demonstration. Steps to Early Literacy shared the book: Toby and the Secret Code.

The School of Choctaw Language helped by providing a hands-on Choctaw Language experience.

Two of the staff from the School of Choctaw Language are members of CCTA and are descendants of code talkers. We also enjoyed social dancing and a delicious meal!

We want to say thank you to everyone who made this educational experience a great success.
