Nanih Waiya Mound and Cave
Perhaps the most important landmark to the Tribe, Nanih Waiya is a massive earthen mound and cave that has a significant role in the Choctaw culture. Located in Winston County, the Mother Mound is widely considered the origin place of the Choctaw people. Returned to the Choctaw in 2008, it is a sacred site.
The Nanih Waiya Mound is open to the public; however, we request those who visit the mound to please be respectful of the site and its meaning to the Choctaw People. The Cave mound site is closed to the public and requires approval from the Office of Public Information and Choctaw Wildlife and Parks. Tours are available upon request. Please contact the Office of Public Information at 601.663.7532 or fill out a Tour Request Form.
