Choctaw

Some Choctaw escaped the Indian Removal of the 1830s, and formed the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. Others organized the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma[?].

In World War I, a group of Choctaws serving in the American Army used their native language as a code. This was the forerunner of the much larger group of Native Americans from various tribes who were used as radio operators, or codetalkers, during World War II.
