Choctaw Nation Links
(Though Freedmen are not currently members of the nation and are at present, prevented from rejoining, (though adopted in 1885, as specified in the Treaty of 1866), this was the nation where their Freedman ancestors were born, lived, and died, both as slaves and as free people, thousands of African-Choctaw researchers descend from their African and Choctaw ancestors from Indian Territory and Mississippi. These links are provided here for those seeking information about the nation, the culture, and the additional resources to enhance research. Choctaw Freedmen descendants, may fully claim the history of their ancestors, both African and Choctaw, and are encouraged to learn the history and culture of their forebears.)
