Choctaw Research at AccessGenealogy
As we build pages at AccessGenealogy/Native, we try to provide information on
all the Indian Tribes. We add complete books on many of the tribes, their
tribal history, great information from knowledgeable people on a particular
tribe and in general what you ask for from your emails.
This page is the first in what we hope
will provide our reader with all pages
available on AccessGenealogy/Native for the
Choctaw Tribe of Indians, which includes the
Mississippi Choctaw also. Many of the pages
contain only a brief amount on the tribe,
use your browser find on page for a search.

Among The Choctaw Indians And Sketches of the South-West,
by Henry C. Benson
The Indian tribes
of the south-west are the largest and most hopeful on the continent;
and yet not a single volume has been written, setting forth their
history, their state of advancement in religion and the arts of
civilized life, or of their future prospects. Whatever may be the
judgment pronounced upon this unpretending volume, the writer has the
consolation of knowing that his purpose has been to write the truth,
and to record such facts as, with God’s blessing, might edify and
instruct the reader.

Louisiana to their every day life.

'flat' or 'flattened,' alluding to the custom of these Indians of
flattening the head). An important tribe of the Muskhogean stock,
formerly occupying middle and south Mississippi, their territory
extending, in their most flourishing days, for some distance east of

Native Cemeteries and Forms
of Burial East of the Mississippi,
by David Bushnell
As the habitations and other structures
erected by the widely scattered tribes
differed in form, size, and the material of
which they were constructed, and presented
many interesting characteristics, so did
the cemeteries and forms of burial vary in
distant parts of the country.

Choctaw, Chickasaw and Natchez Indian
History
by H. B. Chshman
To bring one's material to a strictly
historical and classified order is almost an
impossibility when dealing with a subject so
diversified as that of the Red Race of the
North American Continent. But I have sought,
found and brought together an amount of
information concerning that peculiar people
that has never before been published; having
been born of parents who were missionaries
to the Choctaws in 1820, and having been
reared among them and intimately acquainted
with them during the vicissitudes of a life
extending to nearly four score of years.

Academy, by Robert Elliott

and the Biblein the Free Schools of the
American Colonies, but suppressed in France,
previous to the American and French

History of Indian Missions in
the United States
From the very discovery of America
the spiritual welfare of the native tribes
was a subject of concern to the various
colonizing nations, particularly Spain and
France, with whom the Christianization and
civilization of the Indians were made a
regular part of the governmental scheme, and
the missionary was frequently the pioneer
explorer and diplomatic ambassador

Sign Language Among North American Indians
As the few publications on the general
subject, possessing more than historic

expression, original investigation has been
necessary.
