Best Answer

The Choctaw people live in Mississippi-Southeastern U.S.A and also in Oklahoma. There are smaller groups located through out the U.S. Historically the Choctaws believe they may have been created at Nanih Waiya near the center of the state of Mississippi or that they came from the West hundreds perhaps thousands of years ago. Choctaws may have been the decendants of the mound builders who were re-organized after the mound builders socities collapsed. Artifacts of the mound builders suggest a culture simliar to central Americans. Some historians suggest that the mound builders had their origins from the pre-columbian civiliazations in Mexico or vice-versa.

Originally, the Choctaw Nation extended from the central part of Mississippi to Georgia. Through various treaties with the United States government, most Choctaws migrated to Oklahoma. Today there are Choctaw Tribes in Mississippi, Oklahoma, Louisiana and California
