Just to enlighten the Native Americans of Atakapa Ishak tribe in the texas area, We are accepting dues of $25.00 every six months or $50.00 a year. It will help with sending letters and such things as stamps and ink for the printer. I am working to get permission to copy some of the books that Hugh
Singleton has written. I think it would be a great assess to print and read what our ancestors have been through and what they worked so hard for.
I’m wanting to know what happened to chief Amos. Did he step down as chief of the tribe?
Chief Chretien can help you with that question. Give him a call at 337-540-1995.
I am desperately looking for information about Felix Wartell and his mother Victorine. They are listed in a publication from the Smithsonian Institution as two of the very few remaining native speakers of the Atakapa language in the early twentieth century…or late nineteenth century. He is listed with his cousin Armojean Reon as having lived with the Atakapa in Louisiana and/or Texas. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe the chief can point you in the right direction. Give him a call at 337-540-1995.
