Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This informative study helps to complete the saga of the Choctaw by documenting the life and culture of those who escaped removal. It is an account that until now has been left largely untold. The Choctaw Indians, once one of the largest and most advanced tribes in North America, have mainly been studied as the first victims of removal during the Jacksonian era. After signing the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830, the great mass of the tribe—about 20,000 of perhaps 25,000—was resettled in what is present-day Oklahoma. What became of the thousands that remained? The history of the Choctaw remaining in Mississippi has been given only scant attention by scholars, and generally it has been forgotten by the public. As this new book points out, several thousand remained on individual land allotments or as itinerant farm workers and continued to follow old customs. Many of mixed blood abandoned their ancestral ways and were merged into the white community. Some faded into the wilderness. Despite many obstacles, the remnants of this Mississippi Choctaw society endured and in the modern era through federal legislation have been recognized as a society known as the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is an ethnographic exploration of the myriad meanings that underpin Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians traditional arts production. In its presentation, it centers Choctaw voices and ways of knowing. Based on 14 months of Tribal government-approved fieldwork in central Mississippi (2017-2018), the chapters explore how individual experience, communal expectations and relationships, and the influence of regional and global forces all fundamentally shape how Choctaw makers bring their works to life. While a diverse array of material culture types are discussed, the genres that receive the most attention are basketry, traditional clothing, and beadwork. This dissertation explores the importance of change, vibrancy, and emergence in these practices. Chapter 1 presents a reconceptualization of how the process of gathering can be understood as a creative activity, one that is shared across all material types. It also explores how a unique combination of group and individual factors influences makers' growth in their practices. Chapter 2 analyzes the importance of a maker's access to experienced teachers through familial and community connections, but it also emphasizes that a maker's patience and dedication to their craft is central to their skill development. Chapter 3 explores the role of individual makers' creativity in bringing about change and innovation in material culture over time. It takes a close look at some of the technical variation present in contemporary Choctaw arts practices, and examines how people learn or take inspiration from the world around them to develop their personal styles. Finally, Chapter 4 centers Choctaw makers' actions as, in part, expressions of group, individual, and intergenerational cycles. Moreover, it argues that these cycles and art making practices are co-constructed, and give each other meaning.

Download or read book Choctaws and Missionaries in Mississippi, 1818-1918 written by Clara Sue Kidwell and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1997-02-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present-day Choctaw communities in central Mississippi are a tribute to the ability of the Indian people both to adapt to new situations and to find refuge against the outside world through their uniqueness. Clara Sue Kidwell, whose great-great-grandparents migrated from Mississippi to Indian Territory along the Trail of Tears in 1830, here tells the story of those Choctaws who chose not to move but to stay behind in Mississippi. As Kidwell shows, their story is closely interwoven with that of the missionaries who established the first missions in the area in 1818. While the U.S. government sought to “civilize” Indians through the agency of Christianity, many Choctaw tribal leaders in turn demanded education from Christian missionaries. The missionaries allied themselves with these leaders, mostly mixed-bloods; in so doing, the alienated themselves from the full-blood elements of the tribe and thus failed to achieve widespread Christian conversion and education. Their failure contributed to the growing arguments in Congress and by Mississippi citizens that the Choctaws should be move to the West and their territory opened to white settlement. The missionaries did establish literacy among the Choctaws, however, with ironic consequences. Although the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830 compelled the Choctaws to move west, its fourteenth article provided that those who wanted to remain in Mississippi could claim land as individuals and stay in the state as private citizens. The claims were largely denied, and those who remained were often driven from their lands by white buyers, yet the Choctaws maintained their communities by clustering around the few men who did get title to lands, by maintaining traditional customs, and by continuing to speak the Choctaw language. Now Christian missionaries offered the Indian communities a vehicle for survival rather than assimilation.

Download or read book Choctaw Resurgence in Mississippi written by Katherine M. B. Osburn and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Choctaws were removed from their Mississippi homeland to Indian Territory in 1830, several thousand remained behind, planning to take advantage of Article 14 in the removal treaty, which promised that any Choctaws who wished to remain in Mississippi could apply for allotments of land. When the remaining Choctaws applied for their allotments, however, the government reneged, and the Choctaws were left dispossessed and impoverished. Thus begins the history of the Mississippi Choctaws as a distinct people. Despite overwhelming poverty and significant racial prejudice in the rural South, the Mississippi Choctaws managed, over the course of a century and a half, to maintain their ethnic identity, persuade the Office of Indian Affairs to provide them with services and lands, create a functioning tribal government, and establish a prosperous and stable reservation economy. The Choctaws’ struggle against segregation in the 1950s and 1960s is an overlooked story of the civil rights movement, and this study of white supremacist support for Choctaw tribalism considerably complicates our understanding of southern history. Choctaw Resurgence in Mississippi traces the Choctaw’s remarkable tribal rebirth, attributing it to their sustained political and social activism.
