In just over a generation, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians has overcome decades of poverty and underemployment to become Mississippi’s third largest private employer and a powerful force in the regional and global marketplace.

The Tribe, located in east central Mississippi, is the only federally recognized Indian Tribe in the state. It has become a model for high-tech development by combining quality partnerships with exclusive competitive advantages that are unmatched in the United States.

The Choctaws' success story begins in 1979 with the opening of a wire harness company in an effort to address the 65% unemployment rate among Tribal members. From this modest beginning the Tribe has grown to provide jobs for more than 9,000 employees, both Indian and non-Indian.

The Tribe’s business capabilities extend beyond the state and even national borders. The Tribe operates businesses in six states as well as Mexico. Tribal business holdings now include:

  • Aerospace
  • Geospatial Services
  • Military Equipment Manufacturing
  • Oil and Gas Exploration
  • Medical Device Manufacturing
  • Rocket Testing

The Tribe’s newest endeavor, the Choctaw Tech Parc, is a master-planned business resort. The Parc, which contains more than 150 acres, caters to the needs of today’s high-tech companies with such amenities as on-site training, printing services and office supply.

The Parc offers you competitive advantages that are not available anywhere else. If your company is seeking a competitive edge, a strong partner and room to accommodate your company’s growth, parc it at the Choctaw TechParc.
