About

Our Tribe can trace our documented Native linage to 1699 when the French arrived on the Mississippi Gulf coast. We have survived the French, Spanish, English, and now with the United States. We had no education, in 1918 a Indian School was established. It ran from 1918 to 1965. Only a 8th grade education could be had and no other school could be attended. We are now bringing back language, ceremonies, dance , and our lost Native heritage. We try to take care of our elders, children, and the needy. we participate in Tribe and community.We are still trying to survive and bring back our Native ways. We are moving forward in community and Tribe.
