Who they are
The Houma of mixed Choctaw ancestry form a traditional Indigenous community living in the wetlands and coastal regions of southern Louisiana in the United States. Over the centuries, they have adapted their rich Native heritage to French cultural influences and the aquatic environment of the bayous, maintaining a strong connection to the waters, fishing, and a community life rooted in mutual support.
