Honobia, Oklahoma is most known for it's rich Bigfoot History. The 2002 TV Documentary about Bigfoot in SE Oklahoma gives majority of it's accounts from the Honobia region. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436116/) In the years from 2005-2009 Conference Speaker/Organizer Troy Hudson attended, organized, and led Bigfoot Expeditions in the Honobia Valley for a well known Bigfoot research organization. These expeditions discovered not only a abnormal amount of Bigfoot believers, but numerous witnesses to Bigfoot. This area has a very large native Choctaw Indian heritage within the local residents. Many Honobian's give stories of their ancestors that were some of the original residents of SE Oklahoma. There are stories of Bigfoot and the Choctaw Indians that go back more than 180 years. Most interesting stories are those that say when the 1st Choctaw Removal (see link below) was completed that there were people already living in the Kiamichi Mountains of Oklahoma. Organizer Troy Hudson is not a stranger to these mountains, he was born and raised in SE Oklahoma. Troy also has Native Indian family heritage that has roots to pre-Oklahoma state hood. Troy will be sharing the stage with local Folklore/Legends College Professor Marvin Leeper that will be sure to give you the most intriguing thoughts as to who and what the Bigfoot may really be. Because of the TV documentary and heavily publicized conference over the years there has been conference attendees from as far as Sweden and British Columbia. You say the words Ho-Nubby (Honobia) people will say Bigfoot. It is really known world wide.
The history of the Kiamichi Mountains are as old as the Rocky Mountains. According to geologist the Kiamichi Mountain range was once as tall as the Rocky Mountains and stretched hundreds of miles east to west. Many local residents that have generation after generation of oral history to the area claim that the Bigfoot or "Okla Chito" have been here just as long as the American Indian has been here. Stories slide from one side to another about why they are here and what their purpose is. Make no mistake about it the population of how many Bigfoots are in the Kiamichi Mountains will blow your mind. Kiamichi Mountains Christian Mission was established more than 60 years ago (see link below) and it is said that on the small hill on the North end of the property where the past Bigfoot Conference story telling has been held, is believed to be where numerous Choctaw Indians reunited after separating in the most eastern part of the Kiamichi Mountains during their track west into the Indian Territory. Now with all that has been said here, you may start to think why Honobia, Oklahoma is such a great spot to have a Bigfoot Conference. Some of the conference speakers spend a great deal of time year around here in the Honobia Valley Region conducting private research and historical investigations to the nature of why there are so many Bigfoots that inhabit this region. Come and listen to what they have to say. What you hear can not be found in any book to TV show. Conference speaker schedule will be posted very soon.
