YOUR HOSTS
Bob and Anoli Wood
Ohoyo Anoli Hekia is a Native American of the Oklahoma Choctaw
Nation and hails from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
She and Bob were married in a traditional Choctaw ceremony at a pow wow
on Indian land with two holy men officiating and approximately 75 Native
American guests.
Anoli has many years of attending pow wows in Oklahoma and Kansas. She follows
The Path of the spirituality and traditions of her People. She is also a
Storyteller of the history and legends of the Indian peoples. She is available
to speak at schools and for organizations in the UK to give talks and teach
the true history of the First People. It is her goal to dispel the “Hollywood
Indian” that has been so wrongly portrayed. She is an accomplished
seamstress and has designed and sewed each ribbon shirt herself. She is
also an artist and each box you see in the Trading Post has been wood burned
and painted by her hand.
Bob “Iti” Wood is from Manchester originally and is
now retired. He enjoys working in his woodshop handcrafting the feather
and jewelry boxes you see in the Trading Post. He also has researched and
handcrafted the rattles and pipes. He learned his woodworking talents from
his father who was a joiner by trade and taught Bob to take pride and careful
duty to what he made. Bob honours and has great respect for the Native American
people. He is an adopted son of the Choctaw people.
We sincerely hope you enjoy our site!
Walk with The Creator and respect Mother Earth
“The Great Spirit is in all things, he is in the air we breathe. The
Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us,
that which we put into the ground she returns to us”
Big Thunder (Bedagi) Wabanaki Algonquin
"When we Indians kill meat, we eat it all up. When we dig roots, we
make little holes. When we build houses, we make little holes. When we burn
grass for grasshoppers, we don't ruin things. We shake down acorns and pine
nuts. We don't chop down the trees. We only use dead wood. But the white
people plow up the ground, pull down the trees, kill everything. ... the
White people pay no attention. ...How can the spirit of the earth like the
White man? ... everywhere the White man has touched it, it is sore."
Wintu Woman, 19th Century
