The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma is a sovereign Tribal Nation with southeastern homelands and a present-day government in southeastern Oklahoma. Its public history encompasses treaties, forced removal, post-removal constitutions, language and cultural continuity, and a modern three-branch government.
Homelands, government, and contemporary presence
Historical homelands
Choctaw homelands lie within the Southeast, especially present-day Mississippi and adjoining areas of Alabama and Louisiana. U.S. removal policy forced most Choctaw people to Indian Territory in the nineteenth century.
Government
A constitutional government with executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The elected Tribal Council has twelve district representatives.
Contemporary presence
The Nation governs and provides services across southeastern Oklahoma from its headquarters in Durant while sustaining Choctaw language, cultural programs, institutions, and communities beyond Oklahoma.
Each councilor represents one district of the Choctaw Nation.
The constitution assigns executive power to the Chief and legislative authority to the Tribal Council.
The map point identifies the public headquarters location, not territorial boundaries.
