Introduces Lubbub Creek site as a grounded narrative for community engagement and education.

This article explicitly frames Lubbub Creek as an ancestral Choctaw village and emphasizes continuity of place, language, and practice. The identification of Oka Lahba (Lubbub Creek) and Hvcha Hattak (Tombigbee River) roots the site in a named Choctaw landscape. The narrative rejects colonial erasure by positioning Lubbub Creek not as a “lost” village, but as an enduring foundation of contemporary Choctaw identity. The piece powerfully centers Choctaw authorship, memory, and cultural sovereignty.
