A member of an American Indigenous people originally from the southeastern United States; also their language.
From Choctaw Chahta, the people's own name, first recorded by European colonizers in the 17th century.
The Choctaw people have one of the most amazing histories in North America—they were forcibly removed from their homelands on the deadly Trail of Tears, but maintained their language, culture, and sovereignty as a nation, making them one of the Five Civilized Tribes!
