We ask MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAW SPEAKERS to listen to the interviews that feature people from other communities, and to PLEASE leave comments about ‘dialect differences’ that you hear or words and phrases that you don’t recognize from your own community.
The collection of these interviews was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH); transcription and translation were funded by MBCI, NEH, and the Administration for Native Americans (ANA); as well as by support from our partners.

I chewed someone out who worked at the tribal office about them not helping those who live outside the districts. I wonder if they took the recording to the Chief.
