Oklahoma Native Americans-
Chickasaw and Chocktaw
Oklahoma (from Okla Humma by the Chocktaw) becomes home to 5 “Civilized” Native American Nations in the 1830-40s as part of the Indian Removal Act. US Forces uproot the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, and Seminole nations from the deep south. Forcing them to move to “Indian Territory” – land west of the Mississippi River. I, being in Southern Oklahoma – Chickasaw Country, seek to learn more about these indigenous people.
