There were a great number of Choctaw in Louisiana at one time, as there is today. Matter-of-fact, my son, who is graduating from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette this next semester, his little Cajun Fiance is part Choctaw.

Having been born 20 miles south of Rosedale, MS. and now living one block from the Vermilion River, you can imagine how I perked up at familiar places but alas these are not my families. There are Indian Mounds about 20 - 25 miles south of Rosedale, Winterville, MS., but I do not have any history on them. Of course the areas you mentioned in LA. Are surrounded by Indian tribes which exists today. Many of the communities of Indians throughout the State of LA. Have established governments and have built casinos in their communities. As for history of the tribes, I am not familiar. The reason I respond is to say: If there is any chance that any of your Indian connections were of the Catholic faith, there is a 135 (?) volume series of books compiled by Father Hebert which document the history of the area where many of your tribes lived. I do not know if there is anything of value in these books, but it would certainly be worth someone checking it out Wanda C -----Original Message----- From: choctaw-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:choctaw-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 6:00 PM To: CHOCTAW-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CHOCTAW] Indian Villages in La.
