The Choctaw tribe organized on April 20, 194A.

 

 

Before Mississippi became a state, there were several Indian tribes that inhabited the area. They included the Biloxi, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Houma, Natchez, Ofo, Quapaw and Tunica. Most of the tribes were relocated to other states or decimated by diseases or battles with white settlers.

The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians is one of three federally recognized tribes of Choctaw Indians. On April 20, 1945, the tribe organized under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934. Also in 1945 the Choctaw Indian Reservation was created in Neshoba and surrounding counties. The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians is the only federally recognized Indian tribe in Mississippi.
