A member of a Native American people of the southeastern United States, also called the Choctaw.
From Choctaw or related languages; 'chacte' or similar forms may refer to the Choctaw people. The etymology within the Native American language is uncertain but may mean 'people' or relate to a place name.
The Choctaw have an incredible written history—they created a writing system and published their own newspaper in the 1800s, making them one of the first Native Americans to develop a written press!
