Ho Minti Society
An Indigenous community organization
Welcome to Ho Minti Society!
Ho Minti is a Choctaw phrase meaning y'all come. As a non-profit community organization, Ho Minti Society calls for a coming back together and returning to traditional American Indian ways of knowing and doing. The name also suggests a kind of in-gathering and renewal that we believe is necessary for our nation and culture to survive and prosper.
The purpose of Ho Minti Society is to promote cultural awareness, service, community organizing, and education in ways that respect traditional knowledge and the breadth of our history and heritage. We organize regular activities for members and the community at large.
Project highlights
Traditional Indigenous arts
We pride ourselves on keeping the practices of our ancestors alive, and we host regular meetings at which experts and novices alike come together to practice beading, stitchwork, moccasin sewing, pine needle basketry, and other crafts. Check out our events page for upcoming meetings!

Indigenous communities have long been segregated from the structures of social, political, and economic power, and one of the ways in which that segregation has played out has been through the unequal access of education for Indigenous youth. One of Ho Minti Society’s purpose is to support education.
