Choctaw Indians (Hobolochitto Settlement)


These are the Choctaw Indians who lived in what is known today as the Crosby Estates.
Local legend endures that at the confluence of creeks, spirits arise.
The man seated in the photo is Chief Muchihira, who followed Chief Hobolo as the leader of the Choctaw settlement where the East and West Hobolichitto Creeks converge.

    Any idea when that photo was taken? I just found this blog and am curious about local history.

      That photo was late 1800s. Close to St.Tammany parish. I do believe around 1890
