Abstract | The collection of six papers provides information on the history and culture of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians that has not been readily available before. The papers, written by college-bound Choctaw high school students, concern three legends of Nanih Waiya, the Mother Mound of Choctaws in Mississippi; the traditional Choctaw courtship and wedding ceremony; Apushmataha, Choctaw chief of the early nineteenth century; the negotiations for the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek; the equipment and rules for Choctaw stickball; and an overview of Choctaw self-determination. Each paper is illustrated with black and white photographs. (SB) |
