Declaration of the Mathias El Tribe: Introduction & Identity
Our Mission
The Mathias El Tribe, a Choctaw Iksa of American Indians from Alabama, has a rich history rooted in the southeastern United States, including Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, and the Carolinas. These regions were historically home to cultures associated with the Mound Builders, Egyptians, and Mayans, recognized as copper-colored indigenous peoples.
The tribe's ancestors maintained their cultural heritage and identity through centuries of change, including the relocation of many members to places like Detroit, Michigan, during the 1956 Indian Relocation Act. Today, the Mathias El Tribe continues to honor their traditions and heritage, maintaining their strong presence as Choctaw people and preserving their identity. Bakersfield, California, is the seat of the tribal government. In 2023, the tribe established the State of Mathias El as their government seat.
The tribe maintains its inherent sovereignty and is recognized as a federally acknowledged tribe, affirming the continuous presence, identity, customs and traditions as indigenous people with historical roots and ties to the “South” and even broader parts of the Americas.
Currently, we are in the beginning stages of organizing our collective groups under the NIAC - National Indigenous American - Committee. Email us @ NIACunity@gmail.com to get involved .
