BFC0183 The Great Seal of the Choctaw Nation
The Great Seal of the Choctaw Nation consists of an unstrung bow encompassing three Arrows and a smoking pipe-hatchet. These items are symbolic of the history and tradition of the Choctaw People.
The unstrung bow symbolized that, although peaceable by nature, they could quickly string the bow and defend themselves if provoked.
The pipe-hatchet was used while seated in solemn deliberation around the council fire.
The three arrows symbolize the three great Choctaw Chiefs - Apuckshunnubee, Pushmataha and Mosholatubbee.
Pushmataha was known as the embodiment of the nature of the Choctaw Nation. He was hailed among the People as a trial hero and statesman. He died in Washington D.C. of "a broken heart" (pneumonia) while trying to stop the passage of the Indian Removal Act. He is buried in the Congressional Cemetery.
Permission to use the Great Seal of the Choctaw Nation was kindly granted by Gregory E. Pyle, Chief of the Choctaw Nation.
