Choctaw Indian Princess
Tradition defines the Choctaw Indian Princess. Each year, a special young lady is inducted into an elite and exclusive circle with the honor and responsibility of representing her Tribe. The moment the princess is crowned, she not only is the ambassador for the Tribe, but also is the role model Choctaw girls want to become when they grow up.
Although the Choctaw Indian Fair began in 1949, the princess pageant did not become part of the Fair until 1955. The Choctaw Indian Princess showcases the Tribe’s accomplishments in the forthcoming year as an iconic figure on Tribal, local, state, and national levels. As the ambassador, she represents the Tribe at ribbon cuttings, groundbreakings, conferences and other events, occasionally alongside the Tribal Chief.
With this year’s princess, the journey continues, preserving our culture, celebrating our heritage and honoring the princess as a living Choctaw tradition.
