Choctaw Nation Museum

HALITO!!!
It was an honor to have discovered my Choctaw ancestry and be able to visit Choctaw Nation in the summer of 2023. This is a few pics I took. Upon entering the grounds you will find a tribute to my 7th generation great grand father Chief Pushmataha. He played a very important role when he reigned as Chief. He is buried in Washington D.C. alongside the President's of the United States. His grand daughter Aihnichih "Nikki" Ohoyo married my 5th generation grandfather General James Garland. His son Joseph Gent Garland and grandson William Greenwood Garland went on and served as Judges on the Choctaw tribal council. It was such an honor to walk through the halls and sit in the courtroom where they all served in. Also pictured is my 5th generation great Uncle Chief Samuel Garland. His photos can be found on the 2nd floor of the museum. I drove 12 hours to experience this and will consider this the BEST trip of my life! This trip humbled me and now I am Choctaw Proud!

I loved all the small to large exhibits ..really helped me get in touch with my heritage and learn about some of the last names in our families and communities and their importance to the tribe.. the gift shop was my favorite I have forever wanted choctaw souvenirs and they had so much to choose from!

Great experience to trace your heritage as I did, great History of a living people. 1st code talkers which turn the tide on WW1.

This old Choctaw council house is shaikh beautiful and wonderfully kept. The upstairs is the museum and downstairs is a nice gift shop. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable while the grounds are kept well. A must see on your historical list!

Really enjoyed the museum visit. Learned a part of America history that I just didn't know that must about. Would visit again.

A wonderful museum and facility. Very informative and the ladies working there were extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Awesome and very beautiful part of the country. Prestine. Quiet and peaceful. Museum is a Gem.

A Mi'kmaw Indian was here, visiting my relatives of Indian Country, on Turtle Island, while rejecting the racist, dehumanizing Christian doctrine of discovery.

Always had an amazing time at the Labor Day festival, really miss them days.

Beautiful grounds, historic building with rich cultural exhibits and information.

We brought our kids, to give them some education on their heritage. It was really nice. .

We really enjoyed the museum: its content, layout and the way it flowed. The contemporary art exhibit was delightful

I visited looking for beaded jewelry. They always have done on hand made by Choctaw artists.

Has a great little store as you first come inside the museum. Labor Day Pow Wows are a fun time.

Went for the Tuskahoma fair. Clean grounds and polite staff. Also good food

Visited Labor Day and had a good time. Also 4th of July activities are great
