The Choctaw were the first tribe to be invited by the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian to present a festival celebrating their culture. This is a War Dance. Choctaws are among the few tribes that allow women to participate in a war dance. They acknowledged the women's contributions to their effort.
