The Choctaw : People, Culture, and History (HC)

Stacy Wells is a member of the Choctaw Nation and lives in Texas with her family, which includes a red dog named Blu and two very mischievous ferrets. As a young child Stacy loved sweets of all kinds. As an adult her love of food expanded to tacos with spicy salsa and cheese. She, however, does not like raisins.

Time-honored celebrations, rich histories, and enduring customs—that’s the Choctaw Nation. Learn how the Choctaw people continue to thrive by preserving their language, celebrating cultural practices, and participating in meaningful ceremonies. Choctaw author Stacy Wells introduces readers to the past, present, and future of this resilient culture.
