S7 E1 Pt1: "So God Made a Farmer", Lloyd Aiken, Chickasaw Part 1
Manage episode 429594483 series 3410315
Welcome to Native ChocTalk’s Season 7! In this 2-part series, I’d like to start to kick off the season by paying tribute to those who are the life blood of our country - farmers. And in this case, a Chickasaw one.
Farmers play an indispensable role in this great country, providing the necessary elements of our sustenance and wellbeing. Their work begins long before the sun rises and often extends well after it sets, driven by a profound connection to the land.
One example of such a farmer is my Chickasaw uncle, Lloyd Aiken who’s notorious for holding a cowboy hat on his head and balancing a toothpick between his teeth, while recalling the best stories from his life’s memory bank.
I recently took a quick drive from my home in Chickasha to Uncle Lloyd’s cattle farm and home in Washington, Oklahoma – this is Chickasaw country. I wanted to learn more about his life, farming, tending to his ancestral land allotments and service to our country. And I learned so much more than I expected.
I hope you’ll enjoy the stories of my Uncle Lloyd as much as I’ve always loved sitting and listening to them. And if you get a chance, thank a farmer for all they do!
