The Nation of Choctaw The Choctaws, Mississippi’s largest Indian group, traces its ancestry in the American Southeast to about 1,800 years ago. They migrated from Western-America and Mexico, eventually settling in the Mississippi River Valley Area.

After Columbus’s voyage to the Americas in 1492, he took back to Spain to present the King and Queen not just riches, but also new products that weren’t available in Europe. He took back to Spain the practice of drinking chocolate mixed with heavy spices. For nearly 100 years after the Spaniards were introduced to chocolatl, the coveted drink of the New World inhabitants, they kept the secret of its production to themselves. In the same years as Shakespeare wrote his final plays, the missionary and theologian José de Acosta wrote about cocoa from Lima, Peru, saying, “It is so much esteemed among the Indians that it is one of the richest and the greatest traffickes of New Spain” (Liu; Pelletier, CDA’s World History Wiki). After a century, Spain lost its monopoly on the European chocolate market. By the mid-1600s, the drink made from the little brown beans had gained widespread popularity in France. In Europe, chocolate (as a drink) gained popularity as the production of the beans became more popular. More of the lower and middle class were able to afford it, and it was considered a great treat to have. In terms of economic impact, the cacao had been a boon for the

There are some people who inaccurately believe that sightings of the chupacabra date back to the 1970s, but the chupacabras first sighting report did not come until 1995 in Puerto Rico. The chupacabra seemingly suddenly sprang into existence and no one knows for sure why or how the chupacabra came to be. The chupacabra had a zenith of about five years, when it was wide-ly reported in Mexico, Chile, Nicaragua, Spain, Brazil, Argen-tina, and Florida among other places (Radford Tracking). In Hawley, Texas there was a report of a goat man and they called it “The Hawley Goat Man.” The strange thing about this is that in the report of the goat man in mentioned a creature covered in scales and fur, which bears little resemblance to most re-ports of the chupacabra, this alleged encounter happened near Fort Worth which is over 160 miles east of Hawley (Radford Texas).

The legend of the chupacabra, although incredibly popular even today, has its roots not long ago. According to Benjamin Radford (2011), rumors about a beast that would suck the blood out of livestock started spreading in 1995 in Puerto Rico. It was reported that 8 sheep were discovered dead, each having a peculiar three teeth marks in their neck. The blood was mercilessly drawn from their bodies through very small incisions in their necks, but no other harm was dealt to the animal. According to local veterinarians in certain cases, the purported cause of death was puncture wounds on the right side of the sheeps’ necks that were about the size of a straw, and about three to four inches deep..

The word “cacao” and the first data concerning these valuable beans were derived by Europeans who came to the new World from the Maya of the Yucatan Peninsula who made chocolate drinks to their nobility and presented them in beautiful vessels to their rulers. These people were probably the first in human history to turn cacao beans into chocolate. However, the word “cacao” is believed to be much older and originate from “kakwa”, the word of the Olmecs, the earliest of civilizations that existed in the Americas (Coe et al., 457). The old inhabitants of South America realizing the delicious qualities of the cacao fruit tree domesticated it and later spread it from the northwestern part of the Amazon basin along the trade routes. The key event was the invention of converting cacao tree seeds into chocolate that is believed to have taken place around 1800 BC. Maya also benefited from getting cacao as a
