We are excited to introduce this year’s Chief’s Leadership Class. ✨

The students met with Choctaw Nation Education Resources to explore opportunities, participated in a hands-on beading workshop that celebrated our cultural traditions, strengthened their professional skills by enhancing their resumes and cover letters, participated in team-building activities, and expanded their knowledge with a Choctaw language lesson.

We're proud to see our students investing in their future while embracing their culture and building lifelong skills. 📝⭐️

Six years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed what our treaties have always recognized: the Choctaw Nation remains a sovereign nation.

The landmark McGirt decision reaffirmed the enduring promise between tribal nations and the federal government, recognizing the continued sovereignty of our people and our lands.

Today, we reflect on the significance of this historic ruling and remain committed to protecting our sovereignty, honoring our treaties and serving future generations of the Choctaw Nation.
