The Confederation
The Biloxi-Chitimacha Confederation of Muskogees, Inc. is an alliance of three Indian communities located in Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes in the southernmost part of the state of Louisiana. These three Indian communities share a common history and are comprised of Biloxi, Chitimacha, Choctaw, Acolapissa and Atakapa Indian origins. The purpose of the confederation is to combine resources and efforts for the common goals and objectives of our independent Indian communities. Those objectives include genealogical and historical research and state and federal acknowledgement.
The Biloxi-Chitimacha Confederation of Muskogees, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Confederation is supported financially by contributions from tribal members and non-members that support the efforts for federal recognition and self-determination for our Indian people.
