The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma has much to offer as a travel destination. Upon arriving in Oklahoma, the Choctaw people rebuilt their government and settled into life in their new home. Although hunting parties began visiting what is now southeastern Oklahoma around 1800, it was not until 1830 that the Choctaw people were forced to relocate to the area permanently after the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was signed, ceding all remaining Choctaw homelands to the United States. The Chahta, or Choctaw, people originally made their home in the eastern part of Mississippi and western area of Alabama.
