The Choctaw Tribe lived in villages in Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida, growing corn, beans, and squash. They lived in small houses and wore deer skin skirts and capes. Men hunted and fished to provide food while women farmed and cared for children. Children helped with chores, and teens played stick ball and other games. The Choctaw had a deep spiritual faith connecting humans to nature.
