Why is the Choctaws called long hair or flat heads?

The Choctaw people were sometimes referred to as "long hair" due to their traditional practice of wearing their hair long, which was a significant aspect of their cultural identity. The term "flat heads" stems from a historical practice among some Native American tribes, including the Choctaw, where infants' skulls were intentionally shaped through binding to create a flat appearance. This practice was often symbolic and held cultural significance, differentiating them from other tribes. These terms highlight aspects of the Choctaw's unique cultural practices and the way they were perceived by others.
