Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma
www.choctawnation.com

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma continues to travel in a very positive direction, with a revitalization of tribal culture and economic success in the forefront.

Choctaw language is being taught in 43 public schools, two colleges and three universities, as well as on the internet and in many community centers.
Interest in history has prompted a "living" village at Tushka Homma during the annual festival and requests for information about history arrive on a daily basis.  Heritage-based ceremonies such as the Trail of Tears Walk always draw a huge crowd.  This active interest in our traditions exemplifies an extremely high level of pride in being Choctaw.

Profitable tribal business, especially gaming, has made it possible to help many individuals in emergency situations.  Jobs have also been developed because of the expansion of gaming and other businesses.  Services have been expanded to offer greater assistance in areas such as education, home financing, health and programs that benefit tribal youth.

The tribe now has fourteen Head Start Centers, including four Child Development Centers in Idabel, Stigler, Coalgate and Bennington; seven casinos, seventeen community centers and thirteen travel plazas.  Health care has expanded with a hospital in Talihina and clinics in Idabel, Stigler, Poteau, Hugo, McAlester and Broken Bow.
