The book begins with a historical overview of traditional Choctaw life, belief systems, social customs, and traditions. Moving to contemporary Choctaw communities, it looks at the modern-day Choctaw and the important issues they face. Separate chapters cover cuisine, social and kinship systems, oral traditions, arts, music, and dance, as well as current issues and tribal politics. Readers will see how many Choctaw people blend traditional beliefs with participation in and knowledge of the dominant society and economy, while continuing to speak and teach the Choctaw language and traditions in homes, churches, and schools. 000657842 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000657842 650_0 $$aChoctaw Indians$$xHistory. 000657842 650_0 $$aChoctaw Indians$$xSocial life and customs. 000657842 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aAkers, Donna.$$tCulture and customs of the Choctaw Indians.$$dSanta Barbara : Greenwood, c2013$$z9780313364013$$w(DLC) 2012032912$$w(OCoLC)807768940 000657842 830_0 $$aCulture and customs of native peoples in America. 000657842 8520_ $$bacq 000657842 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000657842 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1135402$$zOnline Access 000657842 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:657842$$pGLOBAL_SET 000657842 980__ $$aEBOOK 000657842 980__ $$aBIB 000657842 982__ $$aEbook 000657842 983__ $$aOnline
