Matte's research and writing about the MOWA (Mobile/Washington) Choctaw pursuit of Federal recognition.
Condensed version of Matte’s 2002 book, which was written from materials gathered for an unsuccessful bid for federal recognition by MOWA (Mobile-Washington) Choctaws in the early 1980s. Includes newspaper, archival, and genealogical research.
Offers a more intensive focus on Choctaw presence in Alabama, both pre- and post-Removal, than most other published sources.
