The early Spanish explorers of the 16th century encountered their ancestors. In the 19th century, the Choctaw were known as one of the « Five Civilized Tribes » because they adopted and integrated numerous cultural and technological practices of their European American colonial neighbors. The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians are the two primary Choctaw associations today, although smaller Choctaw groups are located in Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. During the American Revolution, most Choctaw supported the Thirteen Colonies’ bid for independence from the British Crown. The Choctaw and the United States agreed to nine treaties. The last three treaties (Treaty of Doak’s Stand, Washington City, and Dancing Rabbit) were designed to deracinate most Choctaw west of the Mississippi River. U.S. President Andrew Jackson made the Choctaw exile a model of Indian removal. They were the first Native Americans to walk the Trail of Tears. The Choctaw were exiled (to the area now called Oklahoma) because the U.S. desired to expand territory available for settlement to European Americans[5], wanted to save them from extinction, and wanted to acquire their natural resources. Please Note – the Choctaw Marriages Book has some faint pages which are difficult to read entirely. CONTENTS-Life Among The Choctaw Indians. Preface Page 3 Introduction 7 CHAPTER I.
