OKEMAH, Oklahoma -- The gathering at the Phillip Deere Round House began this morning with good words from Casey Camp-Horinek, Ponca, and traditional Traditional Mvskoke and Chahta (Choctaw) from Oklahoma and Mississippi.

Mvskoke Samuel 'Bonnie' Deere, son of Phillip Deere, spoke on the creation of the Phillip Deere Round House, and the devastation of 57 Mvskoke ancestors being dug up in Alabama for a casino.
