You had me at Halito

One of the greatest expressions of Choctaw culture and sovereignty is the use of our language. When we speak Choctaw, we honor our ancestors and remind others that we have not faded into history. We are a living, thriving nation working to leave a positive impact on our communities, state, country and planet. All Choctaw Nation associates are encouraged to use the Choctaw language any time they interact with coworkers and guests.
