Pushmataha (c. 1764-1824)

Choctaw chief of the Kinsahahi Clan. Elected principal chief of the Choctaw in 1805, he urged peace with, and ceded much tribal land to, the USA. He opposed Tecumseh's attempts to form a confederacy of Indian tribes and he fought for the USA in the War of 1812. As a chief he invested money in education based on methods of European settlers.

He was born at Noxubee Creek, present-day Mississippi.
