Iti Fabvssa

Have you ever had a question about Choctaw traditional culture, lifeways, or history, but not been able to find the answer? "Iti Fabvssa", is a monthly column in the "Biskinik"  (Choctaw Nation newspaper), written by staff members of the Choctaw Nation Historic Preservation Department, which answers questions from readers about anything within these subject areas. Through this column. we ultimately hope to create a conversation through which, Choctaws can increase our knowledge about the past, strengthen our Choctaw, and develop a more informed and culturally grounded understanding of where we are headed as a people in the future.

 

The writers of "Iti Fabvssa", are excited about the possibilities that this column offers, and humbly invite anyone who has a question about Choctaw culture, lifeways, history, food, clothing, famous people, stories, games, artwork, or anything else traditional to e-mail it in to us. We will do our best to give you an accurate and thorough response.  We also invite you to view the back issues below.
