CHOCTAW HISTORY, STORIES AND INFO
These articles were taken from various sources and are individually referenced if known. Many are from articles in the Choctaw Nation newspaper called the Bishinik or from its predecessor Hello Choctaw. Much of their info was taken in part from older texts and books; many that are long out of print. I have attempted to gather this information for my children and grandchildren so that they may appreciate the Choctaw part of their heritage. I hope that others may also benefit from reading about their ancestors and begin to see the Choctaw Nation's part in the history of America. I have received permission from the Bishinik and from other publishers in some instances, to place these on the web. For those authors I have not been able to find, please contact me if you wish changes or deletions made. All material should be assumed to be copyrighted by the author, whether specifically noted or not!
(DISCLAIMER - I am not an expert or a knowledgeable source for Choctaw history or life. Whatever knowledge I have gained, you too may acquire from these articles, or in the main list of books on Choctaw life. Check your local library for them. Many can be obtained through interlibrary loan if your library doesn't have them.)
