Editor: Destiny Avriett The Chickasaw tribe was known as one of the Five civilized tribes. However, their tribes were not an alliance. Once white settlers had begun settling down within the tribe territories they ended up converting the Native Americans to Christianity and used the advanced forms of the Native Governments as their own. ❖ Random Fact! ➢ Did you know that thousands and millions of Natives had to convert to speaking English instead of their own language?

Mr. Green Humor A softball team and a football team from the same college both had tournaments at another college out of state, so to save on travel expenses they chartered a double-decker bus. The softball team rode on the bottom level of the bus, and the football team rode on the top. The softball players were having a great time on the bottom level, listening to music and chatting happily, until the captain of the team realized that they hadn't heard a peep from the football team in over an hour. She climbed the stairs to investigate, and found the football team staring straight ahead at the road, frozen in fear, clutching the seats in front of them with white knuckles. “What's going on up here?” asked the softball captain. “We're having a great time downstairs!” “Yeah,” hissed a terrified football player, “but you've got a driver!” Game Central: Upcoming Releases Editor: Destiny Avriett #1: Do you play basketball or like basketball?
