Chief Batton Talks About Importance of Faith

Chief Batton speaks about the National Day of Prayer and how faith is important in his life and for the Choctaw Nation.

Together, We're More

We are Native

But we are more than all of these things. We are Choctaw Proud.

Anyone can be Choctaw Proud. The Choctaw Proud are humble, appreciative people who value faith, family and culture. We honor the past, live in the present and look to the future. We are resilient people, overcoming adversity with grace and dignity. Those who are Choctaw Proud work hard to be successful and give back to their communities.
