Elizabeth Warren the Harvard Pocahantas, parents were allegedly married in Holdenville, Oklahoma; the County Seat of Hughes County, Oklahoma. They lived in Wetumka, Oklahoma, another Hughes County town, about 20 miles from Holdenville. I am from Holdenville. I grew up there, graduated from High School and still visit my parental homestead where my Mother resides.
Not to start another birther issue, but after seeing the copy of the Marriage Certificate, published on the net to prove the marriage of Squaw Warren's parents, I have to question it's authenticity. It looks awfully Hawaiian to me. It is the first Hughes County document, I have ever seen that reads: Aloha from the Great State of Oklahoma.
Okay, I admit it, I do not speak Cherokee. So perhaps, Aloha is a Cherokee word, I am not familiar with. However, and please forgive me if I have forgotten my Oklahoma history, but I do not remember a "pineapple" being part of the Oklahoma State Seal.
Enough ranting and raving the purpose of this blog is to pass along some true Hughes County, Holdenville recipes. Unlike the bogus submissions of recipes by Forked Tongue Warren.
She even includes a recipe for "Yankee Pot Roast" in her book. The Yankee doesn't know the difference between a Corn Pone and a Turnip Green.
