There is a mound called Nanih Waiya, just north

of Philadelphia, Mississippi. Choctaws call it the
Mother Mound. A simple wooden staircase leads
to the summit of that mound. At the foot of the
steps is a carved wooden sign that marks this as
the origin site of the Choctaw people.
Beneath that sign grow blackberry vines. I know
because I planted them years ago. I used to go
back several times a year and with water from a
nearby creek water those vines. But they do not
need my watering any more. Their roots, you
see, go very deep.
