Symbols Tattoos

i’m going to be getting my first tattoo soon and i’ve decided on native american tattoos. i want it to be something about my heritage. i have native american heritage on both sides of my family, but since my mom moved away, i’ve lost a lot of contact with the choctaw side, that actually celebrated their blood. it was a big part of my life growing up, and i’m going to be leaving for college soon and wanted something to remember it by. so i’ve decided i’m going to get two feathers tied in beadwork on my shoulder, but i also want to get wording somewhere around it. I know hardly any words, beside colors and stuff and i want one with meaning. i’ve thought about getting ahyoka, like the story, since it means “bringer of happiness/joy”, and people say that fits me. but would that makes sense? since it is actually a name? if not any ideas??? thank you.
I think that ahyoka is an excellent choice. Here is something else to consider, chahta’ siahokii! Meaning “I’m Choctaw” or “I certainly am a choctaw!”
