GREAT MEDAL MIKOS
Great Medal Mikos was captured during research my daughter, Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer, and I did in our culture and historical preservation work. We were allowed an exclusive viewing of some of our tribe’s treaties that are preserved in the National Archives vault alongside the first Acts of Congress.”

Our Choctaw Mikos (Mingoes) signed treaties with the United States government on numerous occasions. The signatures in this rare image are of the three “Great Medal Mingoes (Mikos in Choctaw)” on the Mount Dexter treaty, dated November 16, 1805. This was one of the treaties signed by Chief Pushmataha (Pooshamataha).
Though these were devastating times in history, our ancestors’ wisdom and faith brought us to where we are today as Chahta people.
