OK is a Native American word

The term OK has been internationalized and is used worldwide and in different languages. 
The origin of the word has been attributed to an ironic expression "Oll Korrect" or a O Killed military Much more likely is the hypothesis that establishes its origin in the Choktaw language which was the spoken between ndigenous and European settlers in the central and southern North America in the colonial period.
The word Choctaw "Okay" means "it's a deal" or "very well". 
As usual the descendants of the invaders consciously or unconsciously rejected the indigenous roots of the new American cultures, including the old etymologies.
In other words the word OK is of Native American origin. It should be known to open the curtains of concealment and cultural genocide of the continent. 
We include this information as one more item in our book "Amerrique, Orphans of Paradise". Below is a transcript of a site dealing with the etymology of OK:
"The Dictionary of the Choctaw language published in 1915 gives the first evidence of that. As a Christian missionary working with the Choctaw of Mississippi, the author Cyrus Byington cataloged their language.  According to him, and dictionaries published later, "Okeh" meant "its a deal" or "so and not otherwise". In conclusion, the etyumology of the word is Native American".

OK is a word of indigenous origin (Choctaw)

The term OK has been internationalized and is used throughout the world and in different languages. The origin of the word has been attributed to a rather unusual ironic expression "oll korrect" or a military expression O killed. Much more likely is the hypothesis that establishes its origin in the language of the choctaw nation that was the language of relationship (lingua franca) between the Indians and colonists of central and southern North America in the colonial period. In Choctaw Oke means "deal done", "like that". As usual, the descendants of the invaders consciously or unconsciously reject the indigenous roots of their customs and idiomatic expressions. In other words the word OK is of Native American origin. It is worthwhile to know to run the curtains of concealment and cultural genocide of this continent. We include it as one more piece of information in our book "Amerrique, Orphans of Paradise". 
Next a transcription of a site that raises the etymology of OK.
"The" Choctaw Language Dictionary "published in 1915 gives the first evidence of that.As a Christian missionary working with the Choctaw of Mississippi, the author Cyrus Byington cataloged the people's language widely.According to him and even published dictionaries more Later, "Okeh" meant "it is like that and not otherwise." So the origin of the word is reduced to a Native American etymology. "
