I've never heard of purple being used except in coastal areas where the
shellfish that carries the natural pigment are located.- most southeastern
art uses the four earth colors - yellow, black, red and white/tan

Subject: [CHOCTAW-SE] choctaw colors ( traditional )


> I hope someone might answer a question for me, although it does not
pertain to genealogy. I am helping with an appreciation dinner for a
choctaw tribal member, I have been told that purple and red are often
considered "choctaw" colors. Are these two colors considered traditional
Choctaw colors? Any assistance offered will be appreciated.
