Texas Cherokee, Chief Ron Black Eagle Trussell, offered a blessing during the reopening ceremony at the Caddo Mounds State Historic Park site.
With a raised fist clenched full of red dirt, Chief Ron Black Eagle Trussell of the Texas Cherokee offered a blessing over the planting of a cedar tree in Snake Woman’s Garden during Saturday’s reopening ceremony at Caddo Mounds State Historic Site outside Alto.
