A Movement for Cultural Revitalization

POARCH CREEK - MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAW - MOWA CHOCTAW

POW WOW

The MOWA Choctaw Tribe recently hosted its annual Pow Wow, a vibrant celebration of Native American culture and heritage. The event brought together tribal members and visitors to honor the rich traditions of the MOWA Choctaw through traditional dances, drumming, and storytelling. Attendees were treated to stunning displays of colorful regalia and ceremonial performances that highlighted the deep-rooted history of the tribe. The Pow Wow not only celebrated unity and community but also provided a meaningful opportunity for people of all backgrounds to experience and appreciate the enduring legacy of the MOWA Choctaw.

The American Indian Movement (AIM) is an American Indian grassroots movement which was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in July 1968, initially centered in urban areas in order to address systemic issues of poverty, discrimination, and police brutality against American Indians.

AIM members and their allies have conducted some of the highest-profile protests and acts of civil disobedience in American Indian history. Although AIM split in two in 1993, its successors continue its legacy of fighting for Native American rights, holding the United States responsible for the dozens of treaties it has broken and drawing attention to the cause of Indigenous peoples around the world.

The AIM Alabama Chapter is an alliance between the Poarch Creek, Mississippi Choctaw, and MOWA Choctaw natives.

MISSION STATEMENT

To enrich the lives and culture of all native people by reigniting the flame that burned inside our ancestors which enabled them to survive and provided the resiliency for us to exist today. We will achieve this by flying the banner of UNITY that is AIM.
