Classes can be requested weekdays 8am-4:30pm within the Choctaw Nation Reservation.

Classes

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma offers a variety of classes in our traditional arts. Far more than more than just craft classes, these courses teach traditional skills and knowledge that can help today's Choctaw people strengthen our Choctaw identity and connections with ancestors, develope physical health, dexterity and self confidence; to be more closely connected with the land around us, and to better express ourselves through our artwork.

Below are the Classes and Demonstrations that Cultural Events and Historic Preservation host. Please feel free to use the request forms below!
