The Choctaw Indians lived in what is now Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Florida. They were part of the Indian Removal Act (Trail of Tears). The men were hunters and the women were farmers and cooks, so they had mostly permanent villages. They lived in Chickees which are also called stilt houses or platform dwellings. They had a raised platform and tatch roof without walls. It was an open-air house since it rarely got cold where they lived. Even if it did get cold, they sometimes had a central fire-pit with a smoke hole in the roof.
