Looking back as a young adult, Yasmine Austin Sapulpa recognizes how extraordinary it was to grow up with such a clear sense of who she is and where she comes from. For her, home has never been limited to geography. It is community, the people who watched her grow up, who shared stories, language, and laughter.

“The chiefs and warriors of the different districts of the Choctaw Nation, having met in general council for the purpose of taking into consideration the affairs of the nation.”
These words begin the preamble to the first written Constitution of the Choctaw Nation, ratified two centuries ago in Mississippi, on August 5, 1826. This month, Iti Fabvssa celebrates two centuries of Choctaw Constitutionalism and explores how the Choctaw Constitution of 1826, and its successors, can be remembered even today.
