Choctaw...
"The Choctaw Indians originally lived in what is now southern
Mississippi and in adjacent areas of Alabama.   They allied them-
selves with the French settlers of Louisiana in wars against the
Creek and Chickasaw - tribes with whom they, the Cherokee,
and the Seminoles were known as the Five Civilized Tribes.
Later they lived in prosperity and independence in Indian
Territory (now Oklahoma).   They number about 16,000 in
Oklahoma and 2,500 on a reservation in Mississippi.

Their language is a Muskogean tongue, very closely related to
the languages of the Chickasaw, Pensacola, and Mobile Indians.
in their early contact with French traders, a pidgin based upon
Choctaw, and known as Mobilian, came into extensive use for
communication with all the Muskogean-stock Indians."
