Indian tribe (the "Tribe") with tribal headquarters located in Philadelphia,
Mississippi. The purpose of this website is to provide information
regarding the Tribe and its culture, history, economics and government.
The Tribe has spent considerable time and resources in developing
the site. An extensive content review procedure has been developed
by the Tribal Attorney General's office prior to permitting the
information to be posted, and the Tribe has endeavored to get permission
for use of all images of people from the persons depicted or their
heirs, when possible, or the museum source if the persons appearing
in photographs are not identifiable or the images are owned by institutions
like the Smithsonian Museum. Copies of appropriate releases for
such images are on file at the Tribal headquarters.
The Tribe wants its website to be a resource for scholarship, but
the use of photographs and other commercial images appearing herein
are protected by international copyright, trademark and other intellectual
property laws. You may download material from the site for your
personal, non-commercial use only, provided you keep intact any
and all copyright and other proprietary notices. Users of the website
are advised to obtain permission from the Tribe or the owners of
material posted herein prior to copying, unless the use falls within
the scope of "fair use" as defined in the U.S. Copyright Act. If
in doubt, please contact the Tribe's Director of Public Information
at (601) 650-1537 or by e-mail at wsimpson@choctaw.org.
